When they tell you not to be too pushy?

#Takeaways

• Labels have the biggest impact on how women see themselves

• Women censor themselves if they are labelled in negative ways

• Research shows that successful female leaders are not as ‘likeable’ as their male counterparts

• Double standards are still going unchallenged in the workplace

• The importance of recognising our own judgements and labelling of others

• Even if the world is not quite ready for you - that doesn't mean you aren't ready for the world.

 

Today we are talking about those double standards that still happen in the workplace - you know the ones where men are seen as assertive and women are often labeled as bossy, pushy or aggressive for the same behaviour. 

The impact of these labels can lead women to censoring themselves and not be who they truly are at work and this ultimately impacts on their performance never mind their visibility.  Women have so much to bring including those power skills and all are needed around that decision making table.
