Break Through the Hidden Barrier that Locks Successful Women in Place.

Unlock what's blocking your career and open the door to new opportunities!

At some point in their careers, many women encounter the mirrored door—the place where, when presented with opportunities, we reflect inward and hesitate, deem we’re not ready or worthy enough to move forward, whether that is to raise our hands or go for the next role.

But there is a way to break through and overcome the gendered expectations that girls and women internalize over our lifetimes, creating a hidden barrier that keeps us from reaching our full potential.

Drawing on research, stories from her own career, and those of her students and the mid-late career women she has coached, Professor Ellen Taaffe explains why the five perils of success—being prepared to perfection, eager to please, trying to fit the mold, pushing too hard, and patiently performing and expecting rewards to follow—get us to a certain level, and then may prevent our taking the next step in our careers as expectations rise. She offers a new, empowering framework for navigating workplace challenges with more awareness and expertise.

With a firm grounding in research, Taaffe teaches us about the realities of the workplace, how it influences perceptions of women, and how we can overcome the distorted self-reflection that ultimately holds us back.

A former Fortune 50 senior executive turned board director and professor, Taaffe is on a mission for women to have more seats and voices at the table of workplace decisions. In The Mirrored Door, she guides us to assess ourselves and our situations realistically so that we can take charge of our career success and take the lead in our lives.

Key Topics of The Mirrored Door

Break Open: How We See Ourselves

We will dive into the well-intentioned norms that we learn as we grow up and how these messages are reinforced in school, family, friendships, and our society. We’ll unravel how this socialization prepares women to succeed academically and initially in our careers but may also carry self-judgment and hesitation later.
We’ll explore how our ingrained, yet unreasonably high expectations combine with workplace cultures that are stuck in the past, and how biases contribute to our unrealistic reflections, which can unfairly distort our self-perception, seed doubt, and hold us back.

Break Away: Relearn Success Strategies.

We’ll explore the five strategies that help women succeed but may also unintentionally sideline us. Each strategy can be both powerful and, at times, perilous, creating a double-edged sword. We’ll uncover how the strategies work for and against us, how they are linked to the mirrored door, and where we go from here.
With more awareness of each, we lean into the upsides while mitigating the downsides. You may see yourself in one, a few, or all of them in different ways.

Break Through: To the Gifts across the Threshold.

When we’ve moved forward through fear and challenges, we learn through experience and grow stronger, more courageous, and confident.
We relish and build a community that nurtures and advances us.
We celebrate owning our story as a protagonist instead of being a supporting character.
We answer the call to share our voice and our vision, teach those around us by modeling the way, and open the doors wide to welcome those who are creating their own paths.
