10 Top Tips as a Woman In Business
Diversity in the workplace offers many benefits, from creative problem solving to representing the general population. Today Jeannette discusses her top 10 tips for women to gain equality in business. Today's episode highlights the importance of women mastering their mindset and self-belief. Jeannette discusses how this can allow you to create new opportunities for yourself, how to create your personal brand and why a linear career path may not always be the most practical route to reach your career goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- One of the most critical areas for women in business is mastering their mindset and self-belief, as women we often lack this in comparison to male colleagues. When you are in the right mindset you are mentally ready to take on those opportunities when they come up as well as creating new opportunities for yourself.
- It is important to be realistic about what balance really is and being fully present in the moment. To give everything the best you possibly can, but also stop beating yourself up for the time when you are in your other space.
- Having confidence isn’t about being arrogant but about being comfortable in your own shoes, being able to go for it even if you don’t feel like it. If you work hard at your confidence over time, it will become easier and become a natural learned skill.
- Whether we like it or not, we are all being judged by others. Have a think about how you want to come across, what your values are, and how you want to present yourself. This is not about being disingenuous about who you are, but your personal brand stands for who you are and how you present yourself is a reflection of that.
- If you are ambitious and would like to work your way up the ladder or start your own business, there is usually more than one route to get there, it is worth thinking creatively about the different options that you have in particular. As a woman it might be that you need to be creative about how you reach your end goal, be clear on what you want but at the same time it does not have to be a linear career path.
- In life we are going to get knock backs, not everything goes our way. If you are able to grow a bit of a thicker skin and be resilient through the knock backs and be able to pick yourself up and dust yourself off, this will help you in the long run.
BEST MOMENTS
“Globally, women earn just 63% of a man's wage, even women doing the same job as a man get just 77% of what men earn, and that just feels inherently wrong in today's society.”
“If you’re struggling with your self-belief it is helpful to see other role models that have actually done what you’re trying to achieve and that can massively help.”
“Having a few ‘go to’ people that you can get some support, encouragement and opinions can absolutely help massively. If you can get mentors or coaches that again can really transform the situation for yourself.”
