Throughout the 2000s, she held the CEO title at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management as well as US Trust, Citi Wealth Management, Smith Barney, and Sanford C. Bernstein &amp; Co.. And she also served as chief financial officer at Citi. But to get there, and eventually co-found and launch Ellevest in 2014, she says she had to learn to ignore the moments when imposter syndrome started to creep in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSociety messages to us that we should have imposter syndrome. When we look up towards the top of many companies today, we still don\u2019t see that many people who look like us so therefore we may know we\u2019re an imposter,\u201d Krawcheck said at the <em>Fortune <\/em>Most Powerful Women Summit in Laguna Niguel, Calif. on Monday. \u201cMy rule is I do not do imposter syndrome\u2014I just refuse to do it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Krawcheck credits her ability to stop thoughts of imposter syndrome to the beginning of her career in the 1980s at Salomon Brothers, an investment bank that later merged with Citigroup in 2003. She told <em>Fortune <\/em>that the men she worked around were very open about the fact that they did not want her there. Krawcheck\u2019s way of coping? She knew the value of her intelligence, and her ability to outwork them, so she put her head down and continued to rise up the corporate ladder. Krawcheck said she has always had a growth mindset\u2014if there is something that she doesn\u2019t know, she\u2019ll learn it. \u201cIn fact, I\u2019m having my most fun when I\u2019m a little bit out over my skis,\u201d she said at the summit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet another sentiment that she chooses to remember in her everyday life is that \u201cnobody boos a nobody.\u201d Throughout her career and various leadership roles, Krawcheck says she has continuously received criticism and dealt with haters. But she wears the negativity like a badge of honor, saying you have to succeed despite the hatred because \u201cpressure is a privilege.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes being the only woman in the room, Krawcheck would speak out about the need for a more diverse environment to yield better results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got told to shut up about it,\u201d she said. \u201cSo I went and formed a whole company around it. Ellevest is funded by, founded by, built by, built for, investing in, and investing through women to get more money to the hands of women so we can start more businesses ourselves that are the way that they should be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Krawcheck also touched on the importance of personal branding, which has been key to success throughout her career. As one of the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/salliekrawcheck\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-93594058-0 fowfrQ  \" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/salliekrawcheck\/\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn influencers<\/a>, she quickly gained a large following and now has over 2.5 million followers on the platform. This came in handy when launching Ellevest in 2014, posting about the company through her own channels and drawing a quick following.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She reminded everyone at the summit that they have a personal brand, whether they know it or not, so being conscious of how you are perceived and how you shape your public image is important.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, I want to be known for getting more money in the hands of women, therefore improving women\u2019s lives and improving their families lives\u2014simple as that,\u201d Krawcheck said. Additionally, Krawcheck encouraged the women at the summit to raise each other up and work as a team\u2014although women have long been told to climb to the top alone, that doesn\u2019t have to be the reality anymore, and helping one woman, helps all women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sentiment that has stuck with Sallie Krawcheck, CEO and founder of Ellevest, since the beginning of her nearly 40-year career is that she refuses to have imposter syndrome.\u00a0 A&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":1762,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[2678,2679,2677,2680,2675,2674,2676,514],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sallie Krawcheck has shattered many a glass ceiling by forgetting about imposter syndrome - Frisco Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"She believes that &quot;pressure is a privilege&quot;
