You Have More Agency Than You Think

A lot of women I speak with feel they lack agency in their work life especially. I know about this issue because I’ve also felt it. I feel it when I am working with someone who is forceful and wants to control everything.

But even when this happens and you feel it hasn’t gone well, it may be it went better than you feel, because every time you deal with something you’re struggling with, you learn a little more.

The most important thing is to believe in yourself – that you can do it and will get it. As long as you don’t give up.

Quote of the Week

“Once, she had been her parents' daughter. Then great, unlucky Ias's wife. Her children's mother. At the last, her mother's keeper. Well, I am none of these things now. Who am I, when I am not surrounded by the walls of my life?”
― Lois McMaster Bujold
