Margie Warrell, a best-selling author and Forbes Magazine contributor recently returned from an Australian Women’s Leadership Symposium and brought back with her ten things all women should be doing in the workplace to minimize the gender gap:
1) Pave your own path – don’t follow a trajectory norm
2) Stop saying “I’m lucky” – you’re not lucky, you earned your success.
3) Manage your time mercilessly
4) Forget being perfect. Being done is better than being perfect.
5) Leap before you think you’re ready – Don’t doubt your abilities!
6) Advocate for yourself
7) Behave as you would in the job you’d like to be in – Always act like a leader and show everyone you’re made for it
8) Have a plan, but write it in pencil – You should have a clear, yet flexible vision
9) Play to win
10) Risk failing more often
