Hi friend,
Over the last several months, I have met many women in varying roles and levels through my business travel and have noticed a rise in women wearing their armor, as I call it.
That need to justify your professional worth, expertise, credibility, status in the organization, as a way to confirm to the others in your professional circle that you are qualified to speak.
That feeling that we get as working women when you don’t quite know where you fit or if you are being seen, valued, and appreciated.
I recognize this trait because I remember wearing it myself and I feel a responsibility to share how I got past it. I too, at times, struggle to separate the role I play from the person that I am.
