About Unseen Battles

For women in tech, the path to success can be confusing and challenging. What should be my brand? Will negotiating hard make me unlikable? Should I push back on my manager? Should I stay or leave? What if I make the wrong decision? Have you ever wondered how other successful people know what the right answers are? The truth is they don’t. Even though we often feel alone in our struggles and failures, fear and ambivalence are universal experiences. Every successful person, every successful career is built on a series of such unseen battles. Every two weeks, we will hear from interesting, smart and successful people about an unseen battle from their careers - dealing with rejection, working with a difficult manager, being a working parent - whatever their struggle was. We will hear about their motivations, fears and learnings. Their stories will leave you feeling hopeful, inspired and confident. Parul Goel is a woman in tech, a product leader and a keynote speaker. Having been through her own struggles and failures, she knows how lonely the experience is. Her mission to remind herself and others that we are not alone in our struggles. Every successful career is built on a series of such unseen battles. Tune in for you bi-weekly dose of hope and inspiration.
