Flexible work is feminist–and women won’t return to a system that hasn't served them well to spare the feelings of powerful men | Fortune Commentary remote work Flexible work is feminist–and women won’t return to a system that hasn’t served them well to spare the feelings of powerful men It is hardly a coincidence that the demographic which benefited most from the old system has also expressed the most anxiety about changing it....

Honestly, I don't think there is a 100% way to disown the personality trait of being a people-pleaser.

But once you become aware of it, you can start to regulate it by employing situational boundaries. The word "no" will become your security blanket and best friend.

Over time you become hyper-focus on your emotions and start having conversations that are more like negotiations with your inner-self. The bottom line is taking care of yourself takes practice -- especially when you've neglected yourself for so long.

What does this have to do with designing a career path? Everything.

If you're constantly saying yes to projects, events, promotions, appearances (and the list goes on) to make other people happy and it's making you miserable, then you need to stop. You're no longer on your own career path but society's instead.

Spend time alone thinking about your goals and where you want to be and commit to making those things happen.
