Today was a difficult day for me. I struggled making a couple of simple points during a few of my meetings. I didn't sound as sharp as I would like to. I spent the day in my head--fighting with the burden of my thoughts and the image of the women and "leader" I would like to be or perceived as.
I moved to the states less than 10 years ago. After many years of hard work I now work as a a senior manager in my organization. However, despite all of that, multiple books, classes plus successful projects that prove otherwise, I still have days where I feel like a loser because I struggle with something as basic as communicating my thoughts and points clearly. It's like leaving your live in another body. (you know how great you are and can be, but only end up showing 50%).
I know many of this things might sound superficial in this post. I know you should count your blessings. But, it's exhausting.
Especialy, when you start imagining what things would be like without these situations.
Any advice?
