What if the ceiling you’ve been pushing against isn’t actually the limit of your potential, but the structure you’re working inside? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell and Amanda Goodwin continue the seven-part anniversary series with what happens when women begin to recognize that the expertise they’ve spent years developing is their own intellectual property.
This conversation explores the difference between necessary compliance and unnecessary red tape, why Amanda thinks of the glass ceiling as an “iceberg ceiling,” and how documenting your own philosophies, practices, and approaches can help you recognize the expertise you already possess.
