Episode 72 - What is Tall Poppy Syndrome and how can it affect your career?

In this episode we talk about Tall Poppy Syndrome

• We Look at what it means
• How it can affect you in the workplace
• How it can also affect you in business

I wanted to talk about it because it’s a theme that often occurs with the women I support and I felt it can often be linked to imposter syndrome but it’s also about how many of us are made to feel bad for the successes we have.

So if you are ambitious women who feels like they may be suffering from tall Poppy syndrome please do listen this.
