What is it with women and our seemingly inherent inability to celebrate our success?\u00a0 Rather than exalting in the joy of their accomplishments, many continue to dish up their achievements with a side dish of understatement.\u00a0 Realized or not, this may be partly due to the burdens of tradition.\u00a0 The bombastic male boss triumphantly tooting his own horn, with a demur young housewife in the background, remains an unfortunate historical legacy for some.\u00a0 Until women address this barrier and truly rejoice in their own triumphs, true success may remain elusive.\u00a0 As author, Emira Mears aptly states, \u201cI\u2019ve made a concerted effort to acknowledge my career accomplishments as they happen, and I\u2019ve finally found the ultimate motivator: new research shows that not claiming achievements holds women back from achieving the same compensation and job satisfaction as men.\u201d\u00a0 We\u2019ve all encountered a woman who exudes that intoxicating aura of confidence and success.\u00a0 We want to be near them, as if just doing so will help us to perhaps, realize our own destiny.\u00a0 \u00a0So, what can we learn from this?\u00a0 Well, that not only is it okay to say we\u2019ve done a great job it\u2019s possibly the most important career move you\u2019ll make!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
