Stop Giving Women Advice: The hidden danger of unsolicited advice and its effect on women
Description: The year my business started making six-figure annual revenue, I was constantly hearing from others that I needed to be more confident, or more assertive—and in the big world of startup culture, it made me feel about an inch tall.
After years of research, I've learned that I'm not alone—women are more likely to receive unsolicited advice than men are, and it can have an incredibly damaging effect on our confidence, our performance, and our relationships. In this talk, we'll explore unsolicited advice from a neuroscience perspective, and talk about ways you can re-channel others' unnecessary feedback into fuel for your fire.
