It happens too often.
Women in the workplace want to express themselves authentically, but they hold back because they’re afraid of backlash.
They avoid being assertive for fear of being labeled “aggressive”.
They stay silent in meetings when they have valuable contributions to make.
They put everyone else’s needs above their own because they don’t want to appear uncooperative or unlikeable.
