We allow ourselves to be interrupted; we hold our tongues; we stay a silent listener.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Many of us struggle to find our voice because we get in our heads about speaking up.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women get interrupted twice as much as men in conversations. <\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That affects confidence, especially if the guy ends up mansplaining, precisely what we just said.&nbsp;(<em>Like, was my explanation not good enough for you, sir??)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It doesn&#8217;t help that&nbsp;<\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wiw-report.s3.amazonaws.com\/Women_in_the_Workplace_2020.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"248\"><strong>women are outnumbered by men in the workplace<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;more often than not.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When women are the only (or one of the only) females in the room, there is additional pressure to work twice as hard to prove their competence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women feel like they have more to live up to and more to prove to their coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The&nbsp;<\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wiw-report.s3.amazonaws.com\/Women_in_the_Workplace_2020.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"249\"><strong>stakes are also higher for women<\/strong><\/a><strong>, as we are often held to higher performance standards than men and are more likely to take the blame for failure.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These higher standards can hold women back from finding their voice because there&#8217;s an inherent fear that they&#8217;ll say something wrong or will be labeled as &#8220;aggressive&#8221; for saying something. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No wonder women often suffer from&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lifestylebyremi.com\/staging\/2326\/how-to-get-out-of-your-head\/\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"250\">imposter syndrome&nbsp;<\/a>and question if they are even qualified to be in the room (even if they are WAY more than qualified).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women not feeling like they have a seat at the table is a real issue that needs to be acknowledged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We deserve not to feel hesitant about speaking up or having an opinion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Women are powerful and vital to the workplace.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wiw-report.s3.amazonaws.com\/Women_in_the_Workplace_2020.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"251\">2020 Women in the Workplace study<\/a>&nbsp;shows that companies are 50% more likely to outperform their peers when women are well-represented at the top.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s unfortunate that so many of us related to Kamala Harris being interrupted, but hopefully, it inspired you, as it did me, to find your voice in the workplace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So, how does one start to build their confidence to speak up?
