It’s International Women’s Day!
There are seven IWD missions to create a gender equal world. And one of those is a mission that runs through the most valuable work that I do…
“To forge inclusive work cultures where women’s careers thrive and their achievements are celebrated”
The professional services are still full of unconscious bias and societal norms that hold back the potential of incredible women. The women I work with are highly skilled, but they are caged by fear of their imposter. They discredit the amazing things that they do and as a result their voices aren’t heard.
Is this true for you too?
Today, let’s all #EmbraceEquity. Give yourself the resources and opportunities you need to overcome your fears.
You can develop strategies to overcome your limiting beliefs and here are a few to start:
– Accept compliments with a simple thank you instead of downplaying your success
– Talk positively about yourself and leave a confident impression
– Ask for feedback and consider how it challenges your self-view
– Talk to others about how you feel to gain some context
– Write a success log to capture what you have achieved
Changing your mindset to conquer those fears and banish negative beliefs won’t happen overnight, but let’s use International Women’s Day to take the first step together!
