Today we talked about the Five Mental Blocks that keep wonderful and talented women from enjoying their success:
- Women feel that “I am the one who knows.”
- Women have difficulty saying “no” because they don’t think anyone can do it as well as they can.
- The assumption is, as women, that they don’t need any help.
- There is a subtle belief that as women, they will always be disappointed.
- The “burden of greatness”: women are brought up to believe that they can be great, but that there is always something greater they can do.
We also discussed “appreciative dialog,” how do I want to show-up today, celebration at the end of the day, and other exercises that Marcia offers.
