Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors: Shattering Limiting Beliefs and Toxic Behaviors to Uncover Infinite Possibilities

by Erica Rooney

Overview

Have you ever struggled with impostor syndrome, perfectionism, fear, or burnout?

Success and fulfillment have always been the goal, but you find yourself stuck, making it impossible to move forward.

Women face unprecedented challenges in the workplace and find themselves staring up at the glass ceiling. But what if it wasn't the glass ceiling that was holding you back . . . but rather your own "sticky floors"—those limiting beliefs and toxic behaviors that are within your control?

Erica is a sticky floor survivor. As a high-achieving ceiling breaker and C-level leader, she masked her struggles to everyone around her—even herself. From feelings of being an impostor to using wine to cope with burnout, it wasn't until she was faced with the shocking reality that she could lose everything that she stared down her deeply held beliefs about being a "perfect" wife, mom, and executive. Ultimately, Erica was able to snap out of her sticky floors and find fulfillment, and uses her stories to help other women navigate their paths to success.
