Dalisia Coppersmith, founder of REVIVE Learning & Wellness, recently launched “Reviving Athena” — a movement to end the centuries old, silent war against assertive, high achieving women. The goal is simple, but daunting: to inspire organizations, communities, and families to embrace the talents and leadership of the very women whose wisdom and strengths can transform the world.
Regardless of their position or income, too many assertive women still experience interpersonal resistance that stalls their relationships and careers. They are at first relied upon for their strengths and courage, then suddenly criticized and resented for their style.
Most have heard this before… “The problem isn’t what you say, it’s HOW YOU SAY IT.”
Or even better… “You intimidate people. Maybe if you soften your approach a bit…”
And a personal favorite… “If you were just a little less direct…”
Even those who make incredible strides in their self-awareness and interpersonal skills are not immune. The silent resentment of strong women is still alive and well in spite of all the social media and education that would indicate equality has been achieved.
The Reviving Athena movement seeks to support women’s personal and professional growth, as well as educate their organizations and communities about hard-wired responses and subconscious, toxic expectations that silence the contributions of millions of women in every walk of life. If a company can catch itself before it loses another natural leader, everyone wins.
Whether or not she succeeds at bringing an end to the war against strong women, Dalisia intends to help others navigate it so they can set their talent loose on the world without destroying their relationships, damaging their careers, or themselves. She admits that she can’t do it alone. This effort needs an army of women helping each other and allies (men) opening up and changing their own thinking and behaviors that contribute to the dynamic.
