When she’s wearing her resilient knickers, no one can wound our GirlGeek.
She is emotionally strong, can take criticism and learn from it; understands she will make mistakes but learns from them; is objective; she has a healthy outlook (SUPERSTAR pants)
She is her own virtual cheerleader and…
Always has key facts about her brilliance at her fingertips that can be brought out when she needs them
Knows that she knows her field and is respected by others
Gives herself and her business objective and constructive feedback
…and acts on it
knows where to get support when she needs it (and she recognizes when she needs support)
(and she recognizes that needing support is a sign of strength, not weakness)
understands her limitations and is ready to say “no” from time-to-time
knows herself and is happy with herself
doesn’t let other people treat her badly and certainly doesn’t make excuses for their misbehaving! (she is Mrs Do-As-You- Would-Be-Done-By and expects the same from others)
She doesn’t take things personally
She can communicate on a variety of levels and targets her communication to her audience
She gives herself rewards EVERY DAY and celebrates her successes
On bad days she remembers the good times and learns from her mistakes
She balances her life and work because she is NOT just a business, but a multi- faceted person
She has faith in others (until they prove otherwise) and knows that there are different approaches and styles (i.e. she knows you aren’t deliberately trying to piss her off, it’s just your way)
Tries to see the big picture and remembers where she is going
YOU CAN’T WEAR ALL THE KNICKERS ALL THE TIME, BUT YOU NEVER TAKE YOUR SUPERSTAR PANTS OFF!
Resilient
