If you recognize and change the behaviors that say "girl" not "woman", the results will pay off in carrer opportunites you never thought possible--and in an image that identifies you as someone with the power and know-how to occupy the corner office.

I'll be thinking something but won't say it for fear of sounding stupid, and then someone else goes on to say the exact same thing and get praised for brilliance.They aren’t expected to fend for themselves and they are made of “sugar and spice and everything nice. While women are socialised to be nurturing and kind they mistake this for allowing others to waste their time. These gender stereotypes only become more prevalent in the business world when women fail to play the game.
