Women on Work

Episode 8: An Argument for Ordinary


Listen Later

As women, we place an incredible amount of pressure on ourselves to not only do it all but excel at it all.  Land that incredible job. Looking amazing in a swimsuit. Be the most present, patient parent to ever exist. Individually these are close to impossible, but together they are not realistically attainable. Join Liz and Alysia as they talk about aiming for ordinary instead of extraordinary, the need to give ourselves grace, and how managers and leaders can model behavior to help normalize the space for honesty and vulnerability in their co-workers.
