The unsuspected confidence killer
When you’re outnumbered and singled out daily, it can kill your confidence…
Even when being singled out comes in the form of a compliment.
WATCH as I reassure women and women of color that even something as seemly benign as a compliment can work on your mindset in a negative way.
We have to recognize the issue in order to deal with it, and many times this confidence killer that is all about perceptions and can lead to perfectionism can not only distract us from our true focus at work, but can have an adverse effect on our self image.
Yes, even a compliment…in the workplace.
