And some of that is, you know, there's complex dynamics there, but I think often we're holding those senior women to a very different standard of the kind of niceness and people-pleasing we would expect that's very hard to maintain while you're also making difficult and controversial decisions and you're trying to get real things done.
This is one of the reasons for so many people, this whole thing that I call unhooking from praise and criticism is so important because a lot of times we are getting feedback that is informed by
some of these biases and kind of unfair boxes that we're putting women in.
Well, first of all, just knowing, like when you gather a group of women and you say, how many of you were told you were too abrasive?
And you thought it was just you that heard that in that one performance review and lots and lots of hands in the room go up.
And then you realize there's no one in this room that hasn't either been told she's too abrasive or too quiet.
That's kind of a relief.
And then in terms of how we each show up as women, we want to really bring all the warmth that sometimes is strategically useful, the warmth and the desire to connect, but also bring our competence and really show that.
What we often end up doing is saying, in order to be perceived as likable, I'm going to diminish my competence and kind of hide it and be tentative about it.
We want to amp up both.
We want to amp up
both.
Yes.
And being warm and being respected and being connected to people is not the same as trying to get everyone to like you at every moment all the time, you know, which also we can let that go.
Yeah.
I think it's a real mean strategy that the inner critic uses to keep us in those comfort zones and out of our risk.
It's not what you're feeling.
No, because again, thinking about those different parts of ourselves, I would say all of us have that part that really wants to contribute something beautiful to this world, that wants to help others, that wants to find our little corner where we want to make something better and do it, that wants to use our gifts and wants to have a blast doing it.
And then there's this voice that comes in that's selfish, that's too much.
You're gonna be completely neglecting your family if you do that.
