I came across this article on LinkedIn and found it to be revealing and encouraging. As there are many professional women here, I thought it applied and wanted to share.
Thank you for posting this Aleesha. Took me a while to get to it, because I had to disable my ad blockers! But it was worth it. I mentor a few reporting students, and recognize how their lack of experience can make them very timid, both with attorneys and agencies, so I'm constantly giving them pep talks - learn all aspects of your profession thoroughly, including through networking at seminars and communicating in forms like this, and then project confidence!
