In this podcast segment, the host delves into an eye-opening article from the Harvard Business Review by Darren Baker and Julia Rourke, which sheds light on how confidence can be weaponized against women in the workplace. Despite the common belief that confidence is beneficial, the hosts discuss three reasons why it may not be the ideal focus. They explore issues such as self-blaming, organizational challenges, and the potential distraction from other crucial aspects of personal and career development. Drawing insights from the book "How Women Rise" by Sally Helgeson and Marshall Goldsmith, the podcast then outlines 12 habits women can adopt to navigate and overcome challenges, including self-promotion, ally-building, and overcoming perfectionism. The episode encourages listeners to reflect on these habits and emphasizes the importance of embracing challenges, taking risks, and fostering confidence.
