In this episode, we discuss the challenges to our identity that come from people not addressing us by our proper titles.
The key points discussed are the following:
Know Your Identity: Be clear about who you are and your intrinsic value, which isn't dependent on external titles or recognition. This clarity helps you remain unaffected by how others choose to address you.Gather Information: People's behavior towards you, especially in professional settings, provides valuable information about their character and biases. Allow them to reveal who they are without immediately correcting them.Self-Worth and Validation: Build a robust sense of self-worth that isn't reliant on external validation. Your professional title is significant, but it doesn't define your entire identity. Internal confidence and self-esteem are crucial for navigating situations where others might not give you the recognition you deserve.Sponsor/Advertising/Monetization Information:
