Underselling ourselves

New job - “I’ve never done that” instead of “I can learn that” or “I will learn that.”

Not negotiating salary, benefits and working conditions

The thousands of critiqued resumes – women v men

Believing that staying at home as a mum isn’t a job and doesn’t develop marketable skills

 “Good Girl Syndrome”

Published - Psychology of Women Quarterly - Females found to be reluctant to talk about their own achievements in the study, because society disapproves of women who are perceived to be bragging about themselves and praises modesty.

LanguageThose permission words ‘just’

‘I feel….’

‘In my opinion…’

Double whammy = ‘I just feel like…’

‘It seems to me…’

‘is there any way…’

‘Thank to xxx… I got really lucky…’

‘Actually’

‘Actually Tim, I disagree’

‘Tim, I disagree’

BOOM!
