Corporate women, here’s what over-explaining costs you in the room, even when you weren’t wrong. Every time you go straight to defending yourself after someone is rude to you, you’re already on the back foot. You’re proving your reaction is reasonable before anyone even questioned it. In the room, that reads as asking permission for a reaction you already had every right to have. People watching don’t remember your explanation. They remember who stayed calm and who looked rattled. If you’re tired of handing someone else that power the second they cross a line, comment CALM and I’ll send you the Calm Authority Script, the exact phrasing to answer disrespect with a question instead of an explanation. #YouDontNeedPermissionToRise #CorporateWomen #WorkplaceBoundaries #CommunicationSkills #WomenAtWork - @nurjahankhatun321
