Ep #124: How to Overcome the ‘Aggressive’ Label at Work
Do you worry about receiving feedback that you’re too aggressive at work? This is a topic that came up on a panel I was presenting on recently, and the way the women in the audience fixated on this problem was a big red flag for me. Because, how are you going to raise your hand, speak up more, share your opinions, ask directly for that promotion or pay increase, and build relationships with the executive team when you’re constantly monitoring how “aggressive” you’re being at work? Nope. Not on my watch. That’s why I’m dedicating this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer to showing you a different path. One where you lean into the beautiful, powerful POSITIVE feedback you are already receiving right now, and one where you don’t let your fear of being seen as aggressive completely hijack your career. Let’s dive in.
