How do women both: (1) get noticed when we've collectively been socialized to value strong language, authoritativeness, self-promotion, and stoicism; and (2) shift collective values toward strategy, participation, generosity, and balance?
Instead of telling women:
- Avoid weak language: Call it strategic language
- Be authoritative: Use participative leadership
- Master self-promotion: Share credit generously
- Don't be emotional: Balance authenticity & discretion
