Women in Leadership deal with different Matters than do men - work / life balance, flexibility, overcoming adversity, mentoring, negotiation skills and authenticity are only a few of the matters with which we deal.
Gwen had worked for the XYZ Company for seventeen years when the company was acquired by ABC International. As one of the leading sales people for the past seven years she was assured that she "had nothing to worry about" when the rumors abounded about layoffs.
Imagine her surprise when she received the call that she had been "optimized." Yes, her colleague was retained and given all of Gwen's accounts - in addition to his own.
Gwen got to choose how she responded to this devastating news. Her choice was to take a few months to grieve the loss of her job before beginning the job hunting process. When job hunting day arrived Gwen's attitude was positive and optimistic. She knew that she was an exceptional sales person and that she would find another position in which she would succeed.
After only a few interviews she secured a great job and says that being optimized "was one of the best things that ever happened to me."
That's an attitude of optimism, abundance and gratitude!
Attitude - Do you know what gravitas is?
Action you can take - Every night before you go to bed, take 5 minutes to write down two things for which you are grateful that occurred during the day.
