Let’s begin by defining what I mean by “beating yourself up:”
I am sure you’ve heard the expression “we are our own worst critic.” THAT is basically what I mean, that ability to see the greatness in others, but not always seeing it in ourselves and when you DON’T see your own greatness, it can definitely affect you in the workplace AND in your personal life. The irony is that this seems to affect women in greater numbers – So, let’s figure out WHY this may be happening:

To diagnose the root of the problem, let’s start with a couple of questions:
1) Are you a perfectionist?

2) Are you giving yourself credit when credit is due?

3) Are you suffering from comparison-itis?

4) Are you feeling like a faiure?

For a deeper dive for these 4 questions AND for strategies on what you can do about it, tune in for your Game Plan!
