Women are always told, 'You're not going to make it, its too difficult, you can't do that, don't enter this competition, you'll never win it,' - they need confidence in themselves and people around them to help them to get on.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Competing with other women wastes a lot of time, and I'm just not very good at it.
I state in my book 'Become Your Own Matchmaker,' confidence is the key to any endeavor. Women don't realize that when they do things they love and are passionate about - their confidence soars. Men are attracted to women who feel happy and decisive about life.
Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.
Women are so strong and knowledgeable. You know, instead of competing with each other, I would love to complete each other. Take away that wall of competition and say, 'Hey, let's just all get together and help each other be brilliant.'
Especially in this industry, women challenge men much more now because we're saying, 'We can do it, too.'
I'm fortunate to have success, but it was a long and challenging road, so I try to make that not be the case for other women.
I think women are by nature competitive - secretly, privately within their own selves, on lots of different levels, on the way they look, perform.
A lot of women will be sort of 'competitive like a guy' in the workplace, but then when they go home, they realize that's not fully authentic for them. They would like to have a more expansive or more authentic relationship in the workplace around competition.
Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, 'She doesn't have what it takes'; They will say, 'Women don't have what it takes.'
