The Other Glass Ceiling
“The Glass Ceiling of the 1970′s referred to the invisible barriers that prevented professional women from advancing in corporate settings. While they were capable of reaching senior positions, policies and unspoken attitudes and beliefs at the top kept them from advancement.
Over the past 30 years we have noticed ‘another Glass Ceiling’ – the thoughts we have that stop us. It’s part of every one of us. What stops us is not our just our culture but our beliefs and our perception about what will happen if we tell our truth. It’s the stories we tell ourselves about how we might be judged and about what we can and can not do. If we hold back consistently our spirits will shrivel and die. It’s that simple. Changing a work place culture requires a different way of thinking than what we are currently using. The blocks that get in our way always start within us.
