If youβre familiar with our WorkLife column, you would know that we speak with brilliant women who are defying the status quo and changing the way we look at success with regard to gender disparities in the workplace.
β
For our upcoming Work Life feature, we spoke to Allie Young, the president of the*gamehers, a women-only gaming community where women can exist and share their passion for video games.
β
During our conversation, Allie dropped insightful gems, and one statement hit the mark, which you must hear. To paraphrase, she said the only person you should compare yourself to is the person you were before. Who were you six months ago? Or even a year ago? What have you achieved, and how much have you learnt so far? These questions are important so you donβt lose track of your progress.
β
Why should you do this? No one lives the life you live or has your experiences. No one will understand you better than you, so give yourself grace and don't compare yourself to anyone else.
β
