81% of women don’t talk about their achievements
[FIRST NAME GOES HERE], while I was putting together the Recognized mini course, I came across a piece of research that stopped me in my tracks.
According to this research, 81% of women feel more comfortable speaking about other people’s achievements than their own.
And these are not women who aren’t ambitious enough. Not women who don’t care about their careers.
These are women who are delivering consistently, creating real value, women who have the MOST to speak about.
It’s ironic, but it’s true.
I get it…
It’s because visibility feels loud. Performative. And if you have built your reputation on substance, on actually doing the work rather than talking about it – the idea of putting yourself forward feels like a risk.
So you hold back. Sometimes at exactly the moment you are going to do something bold.
You post on linkedIn once and then go quiet for months.
You have a great conversation with a senior stakeholder, but then don’t follow up.
You show up once brilliantly, but not consistently enough for it to compound into something real…
And all of that isn’t your fault. You were taught through years of deep, persistent conditioning – that self promotion is arrogance, that ambition is unseemly, that the right kind of woman waits to be invited rather than stepping forward.
And that now sits as a quiet inner voice that asks you who do you think you are, at exactly the moment you’re about to take up more space.
You keep negotiating with yourself whether you’re allowed. Whether you’re being too much. You’re listening to this voice more than you want to…
And that’s the quiet gap between where you are and where you should be.
But here’s what I want you to understand about that voice. It didn’t come from nowhere. It’s not just in your head. It’s structural.
According to studies, organizations consistently value and recognize men for being assertive, for taking risks, for claiming credit, while simultaneously penalizing women for the same exact traits.
She speaks assertively and she’s seen as too aggressive.
She claims her achievements and she is self-promotional.
She takes up space and she is too much.
You’ve been navigating that double bind your entire career – without ever seeing it clearly.
So you do what looks like the “safest” thing. You stay humble. You focus on collaboration. You never take the limelight – even when the limelight is yours by right.
But it’s not really safety. It’s a survival strategy that women at work have quietly adopted for years. And that is precisely what’s costing you the promotions, projects and opportunities that you so truly deserve.
I’m here to tell you that – there is a better way to navigate this.
You do not have to choose between being authentic and being visible. Between being humble and being seen. Between being ambitious and being of genuine service to the people around you.
Both are possible. At the same time.
And that is what I’ll show you inside the 3Ps framework of Recognized. I built this for exactly the woman who is ready to be seen, and needs a framework to do it with authenticity, with intention, without performance.
And right now, you can access it at the founding member’s price, but only for a few more days.
