Listener question: My colleague doesn’t trust my skill. What do I do?

Many women in tech face the drama: dealing with colleagues who don’t trust your skills. If you’ve ever felt sidelined in meetings, excluded from important emails, or observed others taking over your responsibilities, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover the important internal work you must undertake to address disrespectful colleagues.

Then I offer practical advice for how to get specific about when and how you are being undermined so that you can evaluate the situations objectively.

I also guide you through initiating crucial conversations with your colleague, setting clear expectations, and confronting the situation head-on.

Conflict is necessary for growth and better working relationships, and I provide strategies to navigate these difficult discussions effectively.

Remember, as women in tech, we often face unique challenges, but by confronting these issues proactively, we can build the careers we deserve.
