No matter how successful a woman is in her career, there are often times when there’s a subtle shift in how she views her job and place within a company. Sometimes it’s due to a plateau—becoming stuck at a point between a period of growth and success and one of moving forward—and sometimes it’s because she wants something different: a family, a new position, a new career altogether.
One of the hardest things for women to navigate in the workplace is the desire for change. It can be difficult to pursue different avenues when you’re unsure of whether your job is stable, or whether it will cause tension with co-workers, so the question suddenly becomes not “Will I be successful at this,” but “Is this a risk worth taking?”
