Seeing a wrong, not having the personal courage to take action–even a small one is, in the least, a lost opportunity to help improve things. Those who have followed me for some time know I get off on tangents, sometimes writing these articles to deal with frustration and sort out my own thinking. I am not targeting that individual.

While the blog post I wrote a couple months ago called ‘Part 1: Adulting is Hard’ contained a decent amount of self-deprecation and light-hearted satire, I was actually feeling very overwhelmed by my new lifestyle. You’re an extremely confident anomaly, and this blog probably isn’t relevant to you. Happy adulting!

Also, as the final disclaimer, this is my blog, so if I want to take something out of context, I get to do that. I just read some really bad advice from a really smart individual, “Managers spend too much time on their bottom performers, they need to focus on their top and middle performers.”

But most of my mentors have been colleagues, managers, friends—even some who I know read this blog every day (Thank you!). I met her when I was a brand new, overly confident sales person at IBM.

But that doesn't make it any less damaging to a person's confidence and career growth. You avoid expressing confidence because you think people will see it as overcompensating or obnoxious. "I got lucky.". "I I don't belong here.". I'm a fraud, and it's just a matter of time before everyone finds out.". Sound familiar?

To that end, I think women and men can benefit significantly from following Brené Brown’s advice : Believing that you’re enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable, and imperfect.”. Shortly after I'd started to prepare for the audition, my parents got a call from one of the producers. I was one of them.

It has little to do with the work itself, and more to do with the societal pressure, norms, and bias that exist in 2021. We’re often encouraged to hide, toughen up, and bury our emotions. The expectation is that we can “do it all.” Anything less is failure. For lack of better words…f*ck that. Imbalance is okay. Time to take notes.

Somehow I mustered up enough courage to make the switch, but I was pretty scared and unsure of myself. As a sales professional I needed to learn how to clarify and convey my ideas with confidence – true years ago and as true today. Already I was a young teacher but making a very low wage. I joined Toastmasters.

It takes courage to share something private about yourself, but that''s exactly why it helps captivate an audience. The best case I saw of this was in a session held by Douglas Karr, author of Corporate Blogging for Dummies. It was also located in San Diego, which didn’t hurt. Why were the best speakers , well, the best? Get personal.
