While stress is completely normal, it can easily become dangerous to your mental, emotional and physical well-being. Here are some signs your workplace stress may be a problem.

We can all agree that we need other people in our lives to help us through the hard times. We depend on other people to carry us. In my life, I’ve been lucky to have so many women who helped me along the way. I wouldn’t be where I am today without their guidance and support. So in celebration of International Women’s Day 2019, I want to celebrate the women who carried me.

I have always been attracted to stressful jobs. Nothing can beat the rush you feel when the odds are stacked against you, and everyone is counting on you to pull through to get to done.

I may not be able to answer why so many women lack confidence, but I can share with you my personal experiences with confidence and my key to achieving it.

We all know women are still largely underrepresented in the technology industry. Why are there so few women in the tech industry and pursuing tech degrees? What does that mean for those women already in the tech industry? And what’s it like being female in a male-dominated field? While I don’t have all the answers to the why and what it means for the future of women in tech, I can share with you my personal experiences as a female in the tech industry.

How did I become a manager by age 24? The short answer is I’m a perfectionist. Now I’m sure you’ve read plenty of articles demonizing managers who are perfectionists. Some perfectionist signs of managers include the inability to delegate, being easily stressed and intolerance of mistakes.
