\nWhat is the most important asset to needed help accelerate your success in business? What exactly do women have to do to succeed? Here’s the simple science.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
As an executive coach and mentor, this is a question I hear a lot. There are so many talented female leaders out there, but they feel as though they can\u2019t break through the final hurdle to the top.<\/p>\n
Today I want to look past gender issues and unconscious bias and ask women to do some self-examination.\u00a0 Is there more you could be doing to help you get over the hurdle and accelerate your success? In my experience, there is.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lot of research out there to support my opinion that our mindset is the most important asset we can have behind us. In simple terms, you could say this\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
The woman who believes she can succeed is the woman who will do it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Let\u2019s take a closer look at what might at first seem to be a pretty glib statement.<\/p>\n
Alia Crum, a psychologist at Columbia University, presented a TedX<\/a> talk called \u201cChange your mindset, change the game.\u201d It focused on the way mindset and expectation influences healing, with a positive mindset likely to bring about patient recovery.<\/p>\n
Megan Dalla-Camina and Michelle McQuaid took this a step further in their book, \u201cLead Like a Woman.<\/a>\u201d They say gender mindset has a direct impact on the likelihood of career success for women. They say, \u201cAs our mindsets get activated\u2014by a memory, a situation you find yourself in, or a remark someone makes\u2014it sets off a cascade of thoughts, emotions, and goals that bias how you respond to life. It\u2019s quite important then to be intentional and mindful about the choices we\u2019re making.\u201d<\/p>\n
A positive gender mindset is based in the belief that being a woman is a benefit in the workplace.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Our skillset is valued and needed in the workplace and it\u2019s not necessary to fit into the male model of leadership.<\/p>\n
A survey by Lee Hecht Harrison<\/a> seems to back this up. They found successful women believed there were no barriers to their success and that they had the abilities and accomplishments to forge ahead. This belief influenced their behaviour, leading them to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n
What does this mean for you and your leadership aspirations?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
If you\u2019re not getting the results you want, it\u2019s time to take a look at your mindset. What are you telling yourself about being a woman in the workplace? Do you see it as a help or a hindrance?<\/p>\n
The next question you need to consider is how that mindset is influencing your behaviour. As Carolyn Mullany Jackson<\/a> says, \u201cLeadership isn\u2019t a circumstance; it\u2019s a state of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Are you acting like a leader? Are you using leadership behaviours like self-advocacy and actively asking for opportunities for self-development?<\/p>\n
If you find yourself hesitating before you act, or you speak up, it may be your mindset holding you back.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
