This is a synopsis of the key points from my conversation with Ellen Taaffe.
The main points:
- How perfectionism and people pleasing can lead to being viewed merely as a “worker bee” and holding back from leadership opportunities.
- It’s essential to balance preparation with timely action.
- While building strong relationships is vital, it should not come at the expense of your personal needs and boundaries.
- The importance of building networks, seeking feedback, and advocating for oneself as strongly as for others.
