A woman took a senior HR job she thought she wasn't ready for, terrified she'd fail. Within a year she won a top performance award. Within two years she was promoted to director and presenting to the board.
And I girl bossed too close to the sun, and I landed a role managing an entire human resources department. I remember getting the offer and thinking, oh my gosh, I don't think they realize how old I am. I did way too well in the interview process. I am a complete fraud. So terrified of messing this up and essentially making them regret their decision hiring me. And so I did my best, right? I got into the job and I really took full ownership and I ended up proving them right. I was one of their top employees. Within my first year, I landed one of the 6 performance awards given out to employees. Within 2 years, I was promoted to a director-level role. And also, I was chosen as one of the few employees who was presenting directly to the board of directors. Having the courage to do it scared is the reason why I'm standing on this stage right now. You have to do it scared.
