A study shared by CNBC on 913 female interviewees discovered 30 biases used against women at work:

Accent
Age
Attractiveness
Body size
Class
Color
Communication style
Cultural identity
Dietary restrictions

Marital status
Nationality
Occupation
Occupational position
Parental status
Personality traits

Political preferences
Pregnancy
Race
Religion

Sexual orientation
Veteran status

And the worst part of it all?

How women end up internalizing these criticisms by resorting to a cycle of:

→ Overworking
→ Overcompensating
→ Striving for perfection

Here's the key to your breakthrough as a woman:

Believing 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵.

When a CEO halted my promotion by saying "Women can't lead"...

I told him "Watch me" through my actions and became a VP leading the largest team in the company.

Then became the change I wanted to see in the world.

By creating an exclusive program based on gender socialization which underpins leadership roles. So female leaders can lean into their authentic selves to thrive, get promoted, and navigate all these office politics stress-free and with ease.

You can DM me the word "SIL" if you want to learn more about it.

But the next time you encounter such biases, respond with courage. Which means...

Recognizing that the issue is not with YOU.

It's with the bias of that observer.

And you're not a product of their opinion.

So don't let the outside noise dim your inner spark 💛
