Shut up, you little saboteur!
Dec 02, 2024You’ve worked hard, gone the extra mile, and even taken on tasks outside your role. But when it comes to speaking up for a promotion, that little Ms. Saboteur inside you whispers: “What if they think I’m too demanding?”
Meanwhile, men with half your tact are celebrated for their 'leadership skills.' Sound familiar?
You are certainly familiar with these double standards:
"When a woman speaks her mind, she’s “pushy’. When a man does the same, he’s 'confident'.
These double standards create a fear of asking for what you deserve—so you stay silent, waiting for someone to notice your efforts. Spoiler alert: They rarely do. Unless you have a really smart sponsor.
It’s time to reframe the narrative:
It’s not 'demanding'; it’s advocating for your value.
Start practising self-promotion in small ways, like sharing your wins in team meetings.
