It’s time to stop second-guessing yourself and start building the qualities that will make you an authentic, amazing leader. In the past century, women have scaled new heights in the workplace.

From working as clerks and secretaries in the 1950s, women today are now holding top positions in the world’s largest corporations.

Yet women remain vastly underrepresented in leadership roles, making up only 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs and 10 percent of top management positions in S&P 1500 companies, despite accounting for 47 percent of the labor workforce.

The reason for this has nothing to do with intelligence, skills, or personality.

Biases, gender expectations, and discrimination are definitely major contributing factors holding women back from executive roles, but sometimes, it’s the women who hold themselves back because of self-doubt and lack of confidence.

You might be one of these women—wanting to achieve more and reach the top of your career, but your insecurities are getting in the way.

But you don’t have to let fears and self-doubt keep you from your ambitions.

If you want to be a leader, you can be one, regardless of your gender, social status, educational background, or current position.

You can have a family and be a leader. You can be single and be a leader. You can have any religious, political, or sexual preference and still excel at being the driving force of a team.

What it takes is essential preparation, which will give you the confidence to go for your goals and become the leader you’re meant to be.
