In my June post, I discussed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women in the workplace and promised to share four strategies that can help women maximize their effectiveness at this inflection point of the pandemic. As you review the recommended actions below, keep in mind that SHAMBAUGH Leadership coined the concept of “sticky floors,” which are self-limiting beliefs that that hold women back from being their best selves, reaching their priority goals, and achieving their true potential. To avoid getting stuck on sticky floors, women often need to reframe or unpack their assumptions, so that their usual way of looking at or doing things can evolve. Consider these tips to do that:
