Her response wasn’t defiance - it was clarity.  In this Quick Win, Catriona shares how she dealt with the sexism and double standards she faced as a tech CEO, from being told to “brush her hair” to being offered a million dollars to look more like the kind of leader investors expected.  Her story is a reminder that staying true to yourself is sometimes the most strategic move you can make.  Catriona and I discuss:   The moment Catriona was offered $1 million - if she removed her nose ring  The everyday misogyny she faced while leading a listed tech company  Why she refused to compromise, even when it cost her  How staying authentic became her greatest advantage as a leader  The ripple effect of saying “no” from self-respect, not rebellion  KEY QUOTE:   “The moment you start to compromise and change, more things will compromise and change — and you lose who you are.”  Connect with Dr Catriona Wallace on Instagram , LinkedIn , and via her website .  Check out her book Rapid Transformation for more on how to embrace change through technology and leadership.  Listen to the full conversation with Catriona here     My latest book The Health Habit is out now.
