In the context of sales, Lauren shares these top 5 saboteurs taken from interviews of seasoned female sales professionals:

2. Undervaluing Themselves and Their Services
3. Not Asking for Directions (and we thought that was just a guy thing)...lol4. Making Relationships the Priority

Coaching tip: Examine how any of these have impacted your work performance. I'd love to get some comments. Once you've contemplated your own experience, I recommend you read Lauren's complete post and see other explanations.
I must say, we really have to recognize, get help, and overcome these. Let's not waste any more time or talent in the one life we have to live!
