Jen Bailin's (SAP CX CRO) LinkedIn post that re-ignited the conversation, making it viral at the beginning of September
The next time you hear a woman called difficult, ask yourself:
What did she do to warrant being labeled as such?
- Did she ask or demand to be paid what she’s worth?
- Did she refuse to let someone disrespect her boundaries?
- Did she speak up to be recognized for something she inspired or built?
If anything like the above took place, none of it makes her difficult.
IT MAKES HER SMART.
