Brilliant women who've led complex, high-impact projects.
Who've influenced senior stakeholders without breaking a sweat.
Who'v... more"I need to tick every single box first."
That's the thought keeping you stuck.
I see this happen all the time.
Brilliant women who've led complex, high-impact projects.
Who've influenced senior stakeholders without breaking a sweat.
Who've delivered results that go way beyond what their job description ever asked for.
And yet...
They see a job posting and immediately start seeing the boxes they don't tick.
Here's what I wish someone had told them sooner.
Most job descriptions?
They're wishlists.
They're the "wouldn't it be nice" list that hiring managers throw together hoping to find a unicorn.
They're not the minimum requirements to do the job well.
The 75% rule changes everything.
If you meet 75% of the requirements, you're more than ready.
Because you already have what matters most:
the ability to learn, adapt, and grow into what's next.
The women I work with start here:
↳ They challenge the belief that perfect qualifications equal readiness
↳ They stop trying to prove they're perfect for every single line item
↳ They start positioning their strengths and trusting they can figure out the rest
And that's when everything shifts.
They get calls for roles they once thought were out of reach.
They walk into interviews grounded in their value, not scrambling to justify their gaps.
They stop waiting for someone else to give them permission and start backing themselves.
So if you're staring at a role right now thinking "I'm almost there..."
Apply anyway.
That's the space where you become who you're meant to be.
What's the belief that's kept you from going after your dream role? less
