"YOU DID WHAT?" is exactly what I said to Christy Rutherford when I heard her story of resigning her commission as a US Coast Guard Officer just 3 years before retiring with a full pension. As a former USAF Officer and mother of two Active Duty Officers, I was FLOORED that she would do that. Give up financial security just "three feet from gold?" Christy loves Napoleon Hill so that reference is fitting! Yes, she hit rock bottom and was feeling broken and bitter. Yes, she hit from the world for a bit until she realized that what others thought of her DIDN'T MATTER. "Who you are is not WHERE you are" and conversely, where you are is not WHO you are. She "gave up" what the world thought was success to gain a life of significance and our conversation was a treasure. No more "I told you so" and silent suffering. She's a powerhouse and an inspiration to all of us who have felt the shame of "letting others expectations of us down." It's time to STAND UP & SPEAK UP and get your power going from the inside out. When you are in a dark place, turn on the lights! The Woman Behind The Smile - NO MORE! Join us and share.

There’s a certain burden on women in the workplace to conform to a rather narrow preconception of what women are capable of achieving. Though it’s not necessarily fair, women have to work twice as hard to get to the same level as men on the corporate ladder, but sometimes, they just have to go with it, no matter how exhausting. Christy Rutherford, an advisor to executive leaders and businesses, joins Elizabeth Bachman. Together they discuss how women find opportunities for workplace advancement for themselves, especially in male-dominant environments. For the women out there, it’s time for you to rise above the limitations that have been imposed upon you.
When Christy Rutherford was in college, a friend, who had recently joined the Coast Guard, came home from boot camp driving a Mitsubishi 3000GT. That was the moment Christy decided she too was going to join the Coast Guard.
Christy built a thriving career in the Coast Guard, becoming the 13th African American woman to achieve the rank of Commander in the Coast Guard’s 225 year history. This is especially astonishing, considering that her demographic made up only 0.1%.
She has also published five #1 best selling books on Amazon, graduated from Harvard Business School, and now runs her own successful executive coaching business.
How did she do it? Grit.
On our latest Cannonball Mindset podcast, Christy shared her story, along with several lessons she learned about earning your seat at the table (and then defending it).
