Informative and fun #CMSeattle presentation by Shirley Hendrickson about communicating authentically and why women have no reason to be sorry when communicating in the work place. Applies to women and NW business culture in general. Few highlights:

• Being direct with communication ≠ bitchy

• All struggling with authentically communicating who we are. Not unique to women in business

• When you apologize for getting something that’s yours, you’re basically saying you don’t deserve it

• Remove unnecessary apologies, smiley faces, and too many exclamation points

• Quit suggesting doubt with communication: “Sorry,” “I think,” “It’ll only take a minute,” “Make sense?” “Thanks!!! ;)” “I’ll try to,” “No worries”

• If your workplace isn’t a safe place to ask for a meeting, it’s likely a #WorkCulture issue. Not you

• “I’m sorry you feel that way…” = not an apology or useful. 😅😂 Say something more meaningful. #BigTalk

• Ask yourself how you’re contributing to inequalities
