When My Degree Became My Biggest Hurdle Instead of My Golden Ticket πŸŽ“πŸ˜…

I always thought my degree would be my ticket to success, but lately, it feels like it’s put me in a tough spot. After finishing my MBA, I was sent to lead a team in our Chicago office. I’m the youngest manager here, and honestly, it seems like my credentials make people keep their distance. Every meeting feels like I’m talking to a wallβ€”my ideas just hang in the air, and I catch those sideways glances that say, β€œWho put her in charge?” It’s frustrating because I want to build trust, but I don’t know how to break through this wall. Has anyone else felt like their achievements actually made things harder? How did you get your team to see you as more than just a diploma? I’d love to hear your stories or advice. πŸ™ #LeadershipJourney #TeamAcceptance #WorkplaceRealTalk #JobCareer
