[030] Ladies: 10 Credibility Killer Mistakes That Undermine You At Work (And What To Do Instead)

Do men not take you seriously at work? Being a woman in a male-dominated workplace is not easy.... Do guys question everything you do? Your credibility? Underestimate your intelligence? Even guys with less experience! Do you feel like you have to constantly prove yourself? Unfortunately, sexism and gender bias is a real thing! And being the only woman in the room or one of the few around makes it more difficult... Here's what's important to know... Perceived credibility is not always about your diplomas and experience. People, and men in particular, associate confidence to competence…even if you are clearly competent. And the good news is there are small adjustments you can make that will instantly increase the credibility factor, even if you already know how smart and credible you are so that you don't have to repeatedly prove your credibility and competence. When you make a few small changes, you'll start to notice how others will respect you more, listen to you, and take you more seriously. There are better ways to be polite, friendly, kind, and warm that don't accidently undermine your competence.
