Do you feel caught in the crossfire of being both praised for your accomplishments and criticized for your leadership style? If so, you're not alone.

Strong Women Rising is for women who possess natural leadership traits like assertiveness, decisiveness, vision, and courage but are frequently caught in a hero-to-villain cycle at work—no matter how hard they've tried to soften. Even those who have spent decades learning to adjust for others are given warnings and unsolicited "coaching" that would never be given to equally assertive male counterparts.

"The problem isn't what you say, it's how you say it."

"You intimidate people. Try to soften your approach a bit."

"Maybe if you were just a little less direct..."

In today's workplace, assertiveness is still both expected and punished among high-performing female leaders. This curse of the strong woman results in resistance and conflict that plague them long after they leave work for the day. Many are left feeling isolated and under-supported, causing talented women to leave organizations that don't appreciate their gifts and potential.
