For some crazy reason, women are less self assured than men, statistically proven. Despite great efforts and the success of millions of women, there still lies a substantial gab in our confidence levels.
According to a Harvard scholar, this difference can play a big role in explaining differences in academic success, career choices, and job progression.
The scholar says their is data on college graduates that shows women are less likely to apply for jobs with competitive compensation schemes. In the end this boxes women out of many jobs with high paying salaries. He explains that this is why careers in fields such as finance are traditionally dominated by men.
This is where us women, striving to be confident and successful come in. Below are some tips on how to break this stereotype of sitting back and letting men dominate, and how to lose that confidence gap.
1. Dress for success
2. Understand and accept that we are all created equal
3. Put your thoughts in place. Think positive. Believe you can do it.
4. Know your goal. Knowing what you want is key, and go from there.
5. Be thankful. Understand you are blessed by all the opportunities that come your way.
6. Bounce back. Don't let failure hold you down.
7. Find a mentor. Look up to the billions of other successful women out there.
8. Surround yourself with good people. Have companions that raise you higher, not bring you down.
9. Do your homework. Study up before a job interview. Prepare. Take notes.
10. Breathe. Destress. Relax.
Don't add to the statistics, break them.
