This resonates strongly with me Alis. I often challenge those I work with to ‘see what others see in them’. I tell them what I see and encourage them to accept and own it.

I too have had so many who demonstrated trust in me and fostered my belief in my own capabilities.

Such a beautiful example of how we can pay forward the trust placed in us, Lorraine!

Thank you so much for this helpful and insightful article Alis, spoken from the depth of your own personal experiences. I too worked with many talented people, mostly women, who belittled their potential and contribution, and were unseen by influencers and key organizational decision makers. If they get to read this article, they will know who they are. It was my privilege to journey alongside them and a joy to see some of them blossom in ways I couldn't imagine.
