“I’m unqualified” “I’m fully capable of growing into the role.”
“Yikes! I have no idea what I’m doing!”
“Wow, I’m really going to learn a lot, and I’ll find smart people to help me.”
“I’m afraid, so I must not be ready.”
“Feel the fear and do it anyway. The fear only goes away after you do it.”
“If I take this new bigger role, people may not like me.
“I can break ground for other women to follow in my footsteps. I’ll be a role model. I’ll help others to succeed.”
