70. What happens when women ask for what they want and they get it
What happens when women ask for what they want and they get it In today’s episode we are focusing more on what can actually happen when women start speaking up and promoting themselves. I also want to chat about one of the biggest fears that women can have and that they don't often realise they have which is the fear of success. Sounds counterintuitive right? But it is a very real fear for some and can get in the way of actually getting the success and opportunities you deserve. “Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.” (Maya Angelou) “When we can recognise things stopping us from speaking up there can be no stopping us” (Gemma Stow) I also share some of the things that can come about when you stars to promote yourself and what you stand for in different ways - here's a few I have seen happen first hand - listen in to hear more.
