If you’re looking for a new book to read, I’d highly recommend ‘How Women Rise‘ by Sally Helgesen and Marshall Goldsmith.
They offer some great insights on how to break the 12 limiting behaviours that hinder women from reaching their goals:
1. Reluctance to claim achievements
2. Expecting others to spontaneously notice your achievements
3. Overvaluing expertise
4. Building rather than leveraging relationships
5. Failing to enlist allies from Day 1
6. Putting your job before your career
7. Perfectionism
8. The desire to please
9. Minimising
10. Too much
11. Ruminating
12. Letting the radar distract you
Many of these limiting behaviours resonated with me and this book offers some great advice on how to overcome these. The book also reminds us that behind each of these behaviours is a strength and a gift that helped us get to where we are today.
