Women often face both visible and less-visible barriers to career advancement. While pay inequality and missed promotions are widely recognized issues, internal habits like self-doubt, constant apologizing, and the confusion of competence with visibility significantly hinder progress. Many women mistakenly believe that hard work alone will lead to recognition, leading to under-promotion and self-sabotage. Developing self-promotion skills and recognizing the importance of visibility in the workplace is essential for overcoming these internalized barriers and claiming rightful opportunities.
The opportunity passed over not because it was out of reach, but because our inner dialogue said it wasn't ours to take.
Being good at your job isn't the same as being known for it, and in competitive environments, what isn't seen often doesn't count.
