Attention: Executive Women In Business, Finance & Technology
-- Are you tired of getting overlooked for job promotions or internal growth
opportunities?
-- Have you lowered your standards on your ultimate career goals becuase
you feel they are out of reach?
-- Did you accept a new job only to find out that you short changed yourself
in the salary and compensation area?
-- Does it seem like you are invisible to key decision makers in your company
even though you are a top performer?
-- Were you disappointed with the outcome of your last performance evaluation
because your boss seemed unaware of your contributions?
Unfortunately, you are not alone in your career dilemma. There are literally thousands of well-qualified, talented professional and executive women who have settled for less in their career aspirations.
Did you know that recent studies done by the Catalyst still show that executive women still earn less than their male counterparts even when their career background, experience and education are the same?
Furthermore, the research has revealed that men are twice as likely to gain access to senior-level executive and C-level positions.
Now I have to be honest, these findings really bother me because there are plenty of professional MBA and executive women making significant contributions to the corporate world and their communities - so why in this new millennium are we coming up short?
Why Your Own Behavior And Habits Could Be Holding You Back
Breakthrough Coaching Solutions To Get You Back On The Right Track
What You Can Learn From My Career Story
Take a deep breath and don’t be hard on yourself – I completely understand and I get it.
I recognized in my own corporate career that while I was seen as hardworking, diligent, and dependable, prime leadership roles were not getting funneled in my direction.
I would walk away from performance review meetings feeling discouraged, disappointed and unappreciated for my efforts. In what seemed like a constant cycle, I would eventually lose interest in my work and seek greener pastures in another company.
I did not experience true career success and get exposed to high-level projects until I realized that being silent and hoping for the best was simply not going to work anymore.
