Your Coworker Doesn’t Trust You: What Do You Do?

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.

What is Build Your Brave Career for Women in Tech?

Women in tech are just stressed out, overworked, overlooked, and underpaid, right? NOPE! Not around here. Around here we build the skill of bravery to stress less, work less, and then earn more as women in tech.

At this point in your career, you're more educated, skilled, and experienced than most of your colleagues, but you are also more stressed, working more, and are pretty sure you’re underpaid. And you are done accepting the status quo. You are ready to get what you’ve already earned and then grow your career even further…without burning out. You don’t know how you’re going to do it (yet!) but you suspect the process will require you to be braver.
