Why do women struggle with confidence issues more than men?
A likely reason is that stereotype of a confident woman = aggressive, difficult, “honey badger”, … fill in the blank.
Confidence. It’s critical to career success.
Confidence is attractive. We are drawn to confident people.
Confidence opens you up to possibilities. You start to see your potential in new situations.
Confidence helps you say no to meaningless tasks that aren’t essential to the mission at hand.
Confidence helps you stay true to your values.
Confidence helps you invest in your career development.
But you already know all of this.
It’s time to embrace the confident woman within yourself. She’s in there, always has been. She’s gotten pushed down and to the back.
It’s time for all of us (men and women) to embrace the confident woman. Let’s all change the narrative: Confident woman = attractive, successful, and what the world needs.
