As I start my first career, I am mindful of my own strengths and weaknesses. I have been cautious of my tone, my aggressive nature, and my confidence. Let's just say that it turns people off, especially those who are insecure or threatened.
I have been recently labeled by a co-worker as "The Cat's Meow," meaning the complete package which doesn't sit well with everyone. Some think that she is threatened by a young, pretty, competent, and confident woman. I would be too.
Thus far, I have been entirely more passive than I ever have been in meetings, more submissive that I care to respect, and more frustrated than ever. I am seeing so many flaws, but have been muzzled by myself and my peers. Well, the muzzle is coming off this week.
I will be entering the room with confidence, direction, and purpose that has not been seen yet. I will still be mindful of my weaknesses, but even more mindful of my strengths. Someone needs to speak up about the problems that have occurred. If not me, then who?
