“One of the criticisms I’ve faced over the years is that I’m not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I’m empathetic, it means I’m weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong.” -Jacinda Ardern
Home Sweet Home
I’ve been taking Organizational Psychology, and this is like the opposite of Abnormal Psych. I have been so inspired by this course. I’m taking it seriously because I want to be a good leader, and I want to lead with authenticity. I don’t want to lead with a pretend persona. So far, I’ve learned I’m the type to love my work, so I manage others with plenty of space. In other words, I don’t consistently stay on top of them to make sure they are working. I learned that I have a B+ personality type as opposed to Type A. I’m very close to Type A, though. That kind of surprised me. There’s so much more and it gives me new ways to communicate better with my team.
I love that while I’m learning my leading style, I’m reconnecting with my femininity! I can’t imagine a better duo. I want to lead like a woman. I want to take into account the things I need to thrive while in leadership. I also want to find women to lead with me so that I can share this type of leadership with other women too.
I’m loving this semester. So many little things are adding up.
