Listen now
Description
My guest this month, Stephanie Goseine moves through the world with incredible confidence, believing everything is hers for the taking. Showing up like this as a woman and a person of color, specifically in predominantly white spaces can be treated with mixed reactions due to bias stemming from sexism and racism. This often leads to more than often, women of color being perceived as arrogant as opposed to confidence.There is a difference between arrogance and confidence and it has a real impact on professional growth, but when you apply the lens of prejudice often used on WOC, it becomes blurry.  Additionally, there are real consequences for the career progression of women and people of color that stem from this phenomenon,  including how women are less likely to self promote or negotiate their value in fear of the negative backlash of them taking up space in this way. In this episode we will talk about the difference between confidence and arrogance and I will share my experiences with this concept as well as the practical ways I keep myself grounded in my confidence!
