I am Tara
and, yup, I’ve been there
There’s one thing I’ll never forget from working in corporate communications: It seemed the higher I climbed, the more I questioned my confidence. (Ironic, right?)
I was constantly being given confusing (and unsolicited) feedback; I was told I needed to work on executive presence and authority, but be likable at the same time. I shouldn’t be too abrasive, but definitely not too nice. I was expected to do my job yet wasn’t given the resources to do so to maximum effect. I found myself in a constant double-blind. Damned if I did, damned if I didn’t.
If I advocated with authority, I’d risk being unlikable. If I was more likable, I could be perceived as a pushover.
What was I to do? I knew the advice all came from a good place, but it was designed to focus on what a leader “should” look or sound like based on who had been corporate leaders in the past—white men. And I wasn’t there to live in the past.
That’s when it hit me. I would never make the impact I wanted if I were forced to fit into a male-shaped mold of a leader. So I stopped.
Raise the Tide is my way of inviting you to stop too.
The truth is, you don’t need to “lead like a man.” It’s time you feel empowered to lead like yourself. Because that is inclusion. That is the future for women in Corporate Communications.
