You’re not alone, Heather. Just because I give sound advice, doesn’t mean that I always heed it. Each of us is more alike than we are different, and while some women are really pushing the envelope at the highest tier, those of us who have not even remotely hit a place where we can see the glass ceiling, are no less motivated or anxious. Women are naturally overachievers, and rarely do we feel like we are good enough or doing our best. But we all have different roles to play in this life, so the best tact is to watch women around you, in every direction, and take the pieces that you admire, that “fit”, and that you want to embody. Just always be sure to keep the best, most unique parts of you. Again, easier said than done. (And easier to say, than to do on my end. I am with you!)

Otherwise, you’ll lose sight of your own unique strengths and weaknesses, and branded characteristics you were hired for, by your boss and your clients.” Only problem with me is sometimes I see other success and it gets me down instead of motivates me. Then I lose sight of “me” as you describe.

I find it hard for others to take me “working” seriously – especially if I don’t!

I love this piece and I know it will help hard working women who are trying to juggle being moms, step moms, friends, co-workers, and business associates, not to mention wives, lovers, and girlfriends. What really comes through this article is your kindness, and caring ways and I know they make all the difference.
