neself, such as confidence, honesty, and kindness, while few discussed specific tasks that would benefit your success, such as having more internships, being organized or practicing more at various tasks. One theme frequently found throughout the data was that of employing positive self-talk as well as advising others to do so to achieve success. Many women, when describing obstacles they had to overcome, used positive language to describe themselves or their experiences. For example, Tessa Dee Miller, when asked how her gender has affected her success, stated, “I am strong. I am smart. And I am damn capable of running my own store and lifting heavy furniture, thank you very much” (DuDeVoire, 2016p). She even went so far as to advise others on maintaining positive self-talk by saying, “Never let anyone else tell you what you can or cannot do – not even that deep, dark part of yourself.” This type of positive language was exhibited in the data often. Another example was provided by Jen Gurecki when she claimed, “I’m a visionary. I love big ideas that challenge the status quo, and I’m not afraid to execute them” (DuDeVoire, 2016y). One respondent additional offered blatant advise to women to be positive and to avoid a negative attitude. She stated, “I hope to be able to continue looking in the mirror, thinking, ‘Hey! There you are: unique and shining. Keep doing your thing, girl!’” (DuDeVoire, 2016e). In many instances, women attributed parts of their success to improving their own self-talk as well as to tell themselves they are capable and to feel confident in their ability to do. One recurring theme discovered throughout the data was that of confidence, either the lack of having it and the desire for more or the claim to be confident and speak up to achieve greater success (DuDeVoire, 2016c; DuDeVoire, 2016d; DuDeVoire, 2016i; DuDeVoire, 2016k; DuDeVoire, 2016l; DuDeVoire, 2016m; DuDeVoire, 2016o; DuDeVoire, 2016q; DuDeVoire, 2016r; D>
