#3: Do the Hard Things and Put in the Work The Truth About Confidence
-
- Self-Improvement
If you haven't had a chance yet to the read Marissa Orr's best-selling book LEAN OUT: The Truth About Women, Power and the Workplace, this conversation I had with Marissa is the high-level primer you need. And if you have read the book, you'll enjoy getting to hear more about it from Marissa herself.
Bonus, you'll also hear the story behind the story (i.e., how this interview came to be), which may help give you a boost next time you're facing the idea of stretching outside your comfort zone.
An entire chapter of LEAN OUT is devoted to confidence, in which Marissa examines popular research on the confidence gender gap, calling out important flaws and presenting a new perspective that will challenge many people to think, and perhaps think differently, about it.
As she says in this episode: "I didn't write it to change people's minds. I wrote it to reach out to the women who felt like I did but didn't have the voice and the perspective or the platform to articulate that."
Listen in as we cover:
--How Marissa's experiences with LEAN IN and women's initiatives in large tech companies left her feeling disenchanted
--Why she wrote LEAN OUT and what she hopes it will achieve
--New ways of thinking about and defining confidence
--Creating new systems to empower women and achieve gender equity vs. tearing down the old ones
--Being "the underdog" and using it to your advantage
--Doing hard things, and putting in the work
I hope this episode reaches every woman who needs to hear it. And I hope more women and men will read LEAN OUT and continue these important conversations.
