Why Women Are Hurting Themselves By Not Sharing Their Achievements - Epi 83

Did you know that women share their success achievements much less than men?

 

An article on Medium by Kelly Reeves states, "Despite this, a LinkedIn study showed women are far less braggy about their successes than men. Their profiles are shorter, and “even when they had similar jobs and skill levels, women would still include 11% less of their skills than men on their profiles.”

Yet, in another article on Forbes, they state, "self-promotion is also an effective counterbalance to gender bias."

By not sharing their achievements, women may be handing their seats at the table to someone else.

Women are conditioned to be modest and humble, which feels like a contradiction to being loud and proud about what we have accomplished. This can be tough to overcome.

 

So, are you comfortable sharing your achievements? Why or why not?
