Do you like to speak up, even when you feel like it isn't your place? Are you so confident in who you are that you have created a clear personal brand for yourself that everyone recognizes? Things can get fuzzy when we don't know our place, or sometimes we think we know our place, and we underestimate ourselves. In this episode, I share the three things that I see holding us back as black women in corporate careers or our professions.
"There is no place for modesty when it comes to career progression. It is up to you. 80-90% of the progress you are going to make in your career is up to you." - Rebecca Muruiki

- Talking back in the workspace (4:28)
- How not speaking up created a misunderstanding (7:28)
- Waiting until we are asked to share our achievements (9:01)

I hope this episode has helped you realize how important it is for you to be vocal about your achievements to impact others. If anything I've said resonates with you, but you have no idea where to start, or you're still hesitant to speak up, I'd love to invite you to book a free; no strings attached
