Why are most women better at celebrating other people than themselves?
We can confidently tell a colleague how well she’s done, recommend her for a promotion or simply celebrate her success.
When the attention turns to us, on the other hand, many of us instinctively downplay it.
“I was just doing my job.”
“It wasn’t that big of a deal.”
And of course, other people will often help us along the way.
But acknowledging their contribution doesn’t mean we should erase our own.
As female professionals we have to feel comfortable saying,
“I worked hard for this.”
Take the credit. Celebrate the milestone. Be proud of your achievements.
Don’t wait for someone else to give you permission to honor your own successes.
At Global Women Fresh we always look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of female professionals, no matter how big or small. 💚
