Career Coaching Tip: Women “are known” for nurturing families, but you don’t have to have a family to leverage this skill to your benefit. Think about your interest in nurturing and caring more broadly. As a woman, you probably already ARE caring for everything you care about. How do you channel this into your worklife? Are you mentoring? Are you coaching those who work for you? Take pride in your ability to nurture the planet and it’s people, because it is a strength that helps those you work and live with, and the planet as a whole. Be conscious about modeling caring behavior for the women and men you influence. Put it out there as a strength.
