those big C- level seats I have definitely seen a key barrier to that success as being a lack of confidence in their abilities, their value and even credibility.<\/p>\n<p>To sell you to anyone else you must first sell you\u2026 to yourself!<\/p>\n<p>Women are tremendously good at <strong>looking externally<\/strong> (at the people and the world around them) to <strong>gauge their levels of success<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This means they compare their situation to <em>others<\/em> to assess how they are tracking.<\/p>\n<p>This is a human trait of course (men do it too) but I have observed that women use external validation regularly, daily and on <em>many<\/em> different measures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.register.illuminategrowth.com.au\/welcome7habits\"><img
