Goodbye to the Good Girls

Published: Oct. 5, 2020, 10:08 a.m.

Generations of women have been raised to be \u201cgood girls\u201d where they\u2019re taught to be polite, not speak too loud, don\u2019t argue with others, and the list goes on and on. While these behaviors are taught to women at a young age, they tend to impact their entire life both personally and professionally. In fact, many women struggle to break free of this \u201cgood girl\u201d behavior and never end up being able to advocate for themselves or get their ideas heard. For us to really achieve equality in this world, that\u2019s got to stop. We need the current generation of women in the workforce now to shed their \u201cgood girl\u201d behaviors and start speaking louder, advocating more for themselves, and ensuring their voice and opinions are heard. And, then we need to teach generations of girls how to do this so they don\u2019t fall victim to the same behaviors. In this episode, we chat with Michelle Miller, Marketing Manager at Warren Rupp. She has more than 10 years of marketing communications experience at Seaman Corporation, Madison Services Group, and Alliance Community Hospital.
