😤 “She was dismissive of me in a meeting I led. She thinks she’s smarter than me,” a client vented today in a coaching session.

My client is a newly hired team lead, assigned a hiring budget and project mandate.

When I ask her why she needs the buy-in of the person who’d been dismissive, she says, “That’s how I’ll know I can do this.”

"I don't know what my worth is."

"I'm afraid to upset the higher-ups with my ask."

Have you had thoughts like these that holds you back from becoming bolder, braver, and better paid?
