    The content of this video blog post resonates with me. So many woman, including myself, feel uncomfortable stepping up as an expert in their field, and it takes effort and thought and strategy to be able to do this without apologizing. I appreciate the way that you identify this within our society in a smart way and you back it with research. Great video blog.

      Hi Lara, Thanks for posting and for letting me know how this landed with you. Agreed! owning your expert-identity brings up self-assertiveness issues absolutely. I like how you mentioned it takes “effort and thought and strategy to be able to do this without apologizing.”

    “do I apologize or self minimize?” so powerful…
    I couldn’t believe how often I do this….
    I’ve finally stopped saying this the past 4 months…
