Junior in high school here. I would really appreciate some tips you lovely people have for confidence, standing your ground, being taken seriously, and being a reliable worker without overstepping your own boundaries/burning yourself out. It's difficult to get a good sense of these as a young woman, and it's sometimes expected to just suck it up an deal.

Hi there Baker, it depends what’s your line of work but generally being yourself unapologetically has worked for me even though it took me years to get there. That means if you find something funny - laugh, if you feel more comfortable in lower shoes don’t wear hills, if you are kind and emotional as in you get excited or happy or sad about things it’s ok to express that. Ask questions when you don’t know, look people in the eye, know their names, do something you are enjoying so you can show up and be committed. Be passionate. Apologise when needed or accepting errors. If you disagree with something, say it in time, albeit professionally. Have other priorities. I know it seems generic but these guidelines have helped me. Best of luck

This is beautiful- thank you.

Agree with GM1! Also… do good work, help others when you can, have confidence in yourself but also know how to be humble bc arrogance doesn’t look good on anyone. Be positive! I try to spread a bit of sunshine on anyone that crosses my path, being a beacon of light for others will also provide a light for your own path.

I generally have always been a yes person at work and honestly feel like that’s taken me far… and then I just make sure to take my PTO and time off to take care of myself and enjoy life so that I don’t burn out!

Although, ultimately, I really believe that you choose your own happiness… I also do try to find jobs where I can have meaning, enjoy what I do, work under bosses that see my impact and appreciate the work that I do, that helps also.
