For the female warriors - In becoming who you are today, what led and helped you to develop a confidence and presence in taking up space in the room?
I’ve been given feedback with the action that I need to start project confidence in the room, esp when I’m not the lead driver of the conversation. I’m type A as well. Did y’all talk with a therapist about it? 😂

Def not a warrior. I’m enjoying WLB. Leaving work at the office n log off. Focus on exercising, Pilates, meal prep etc. Also, I have other goals when I log off. You prob should invest in a career coach if you care about ladders & promotions etc.

I also see in being grounded elsewhere you can project that at work.

1. Never see yourself as taking up space, you are in the room with a seat at the table - own it. 2. Project confidence? I am assuming that this is taking “active ownership and advocacy/evangelism” for projects you are asking teams to mobilize? 3. Get a mentor who can coach you through your professional rough spots.

It should have read “I need to start to project confidence” , sorry.

For me it was a combination of my association, therapy, recovery, books, podcasts and my relationship with God that carved out confidence in me and self belief. Without all that I would just comfortably blend into the background.

If you wanna speak more about building confidence I’m happy to do that cuz I don’t think it’s a 1 size fits all and it takes time to build confidence :)
