That whole idea that a woman needs to act like a man to get ahead is so passe. But even so, many women can’t help but feel like they don’t deserve to be where they are. Here’s how to level up your confidence.
I’m good enough (aren’t I?)
Sometimes, no matter how much hard work you’ve put in to get to where you are, you still end up feeling like you don’t deserve to be there. It’s not an uncommon feeling – women as successful as Tina Fey and Emma Watson have confessed to feeling as if they didn’t deserve their success.
“Feeling like an imposter” or thinking that you “got lucky” is a common trait, especially among women. While that isn’t to say that men don’t feel it too, women are definitely held to a higher standard of perfection (whether in looks or work or life) and so naturally, it can feel like you’re always one step away from failing.
But it’s time to stop being our own worst enemies and work towards overcoming that feeling. Because at the end of the day, you are where you are because you deserve to be there.
Are you thinking big enough?
While we’ve worked hard to get more equality and exposure in the workplace, the fact is, men approach jobs in very different ways than women. A Hewlett Packard report that is often quoted in books about women in the workplace gives this statistic to prove it: generally, men apply for a job when they meet only 60 percent of the qualifications, but women apply only if they meet 100 percent of them.
