About the Episode:
I’m your host, Karen Yankovich, and today we have a very special episode dedicated to the rise of women supporting women. It’s been amazing to see how this movement has gained momentum, especially on platforms like Threads, where women are following and supporting one another.
I truly believe that when women have more money, we have the power to change the world. That’s why I wanted to dedicate an entire episode to this topic. I want to encourage all of you to support each other in your personal and professional growth because together we can achieve amazing things.
I’d like to start by sharing my own experience of supporting women through collaborations. It’s been such a rewarding journey for me, and it has helped me grow my business in ways I couldn’t have imagined. It’s important to note that genuine collaboration is not about spamming or pitching. It’s about finding like-minded individuals with aligned audiences and creating valuable collaborations that benefit everyone involved.
I also want to emphasize the importance of seeking out mentors and being mentors ourselves. Mentorship plays a crucial role in personal and professional development. I encourage all of you to reach out to women you admire and explore opportunities for mentorship. You’d be surprised how willing people are to share their knowledge and help others succeed.
Leadership and advocacy are also vital components of this movement. When women advocate for each other, we ensure that policies are passed to support our growth and well-being. It’s important to share our stories, advice, and learnings to create a supportive community that helps each other excel.
In conclusion, I want to remind all of you of the power we hold as women supporting each other. Take a moment to reflect on your own strengths and lift each other up. By bringing others along on your journey, sharing knowledge, and giving back, we can make a difference and change the world.
If you’re looking for more support and guidance, I invite you to schedule a call with me on my website, karenyankovich.com/call. I’d love to help you on your journey. And don’t forget to share this episode and tag me on social media using the hashtag #goodgirlsgetrich to keep the conversation going and to support other women.

Hello, hello there. I’m Karen Yankovich, the host of the good girls get rich podcast and this is episode number 264. And today we’re diving into a topic that is really at the heart of everything we talked about here on the show, and it is near and dear to my heart. And that is the rise of women supporting women. It’s not just a trend, it’s a movement and it is shaping our world in so many beautiful ways. You know, maybe you’ve seen what’s what prompted me to do this show is the I guess we’re gonna call it a phenomenon on threads. You want threads, if you’re on threads, we should be connected. Follow me, I’ll follow you back, because there’s a phenomenon happening right now on threads, women following women. And it is just not ending, it’s been going on for weeks now. And or at least at the time that I’m recording this episode. And it’s really amazing to me, I am connecting with women I never would have known before, I’ve never would have seen them on threads. And the energy behind it is just such love and support. It’s amazing. It’s just truly amazing. And it made me want to do an entire episode about this, because it’s so impactful. It’s so impactful when you can find a space online or or not, right? Where you just feel that there’s an energy of support, right for whatever that is. And you know, it’s interesting, because for me, you know, my I support women. I want there to be more wealthy women in the world, right? I want there. I think women with more money can change the world, we can donate to the causes that are important to us. All the things right. And I help women do that I write I help you rebrand your baby, your next chapter, step into that new brand confidently and powerfully with a great presence, a great personal brand, a great LinkedIn profile, some maybe some PR see have some credibility, that’s at the heart of everything that I do. And if I had to, if I had to niche that down even further, right, my favorite way to do this, and my favorite way to grow my business is with collaborations, right finding people who have an audience aligned with my audience, right and promoting each other. It’s not spammy, it’s not sending. I mean, you guys know, I’m sure you know that if you put my name in a Google search, I’m all over the place about LinkedIn strategy. But it’s not the spammy LinkedIn stuff that you’re seeing now where all these people are just connecting with you connect with 100 people at a time and then spamming them by myself by myself, I can help you. It’s not that at all. It is finding other people that have an audience similar to yours and offering to collaborate and creating beautiful collaborations. It’s a huge part of what I teach. And I can point to six figures in business from some of these collaborations that I’ve had. I mean, they are the most powerful way that I grow my business. So this women’s supporting women trend on threads is just filling my heart with happiness, right? Because I know you’re gonna get a lot of happiness in this episode, just just be prepared. Right? You may. It’s because it’s just so I’m so overwhelmed by it truthfully. Because it’s moments like us that remind us the power that we have the power of sisterhood, right? This isn’t a new concept. Throughout history, women have found ways to support each other, right? Whether it was suffragettes, right, or the salons in Paris, or just friendships and communities in our everyday lives, like we know, you know, we get a bad rap. Right? When when there’s movies like Mean Girls and things like that come out, like we get a bad rap. And I guess there are women like that. But overwhelmingly, my experience has been that the women in my life support me and I support them. And in recent years, we’re seeing this gain even more momentum, right? Like, there’s local meetups women are coming together like they never have before. And you know, when we come together, we lift each other up, we all rise together, right? We create synergy that’s not just about our individual successes, right? It’s about that collective empowerment. So first and foremost, as we dive into this episode today, I want you to just stop for a second and recognize and celebrate other women’s achievements. Have you seen that meme? Which is like something about? I’ll find it and I’ll put it somewhere. I’ll put it in the show notes for this episode. But it’s something about be the woman that fixes somebody, the other woman’s crown without acknowledgement or something like that, like that’s what this is, right? That’s what this is. That’s the trend that we’re seeing right now. So recognize, celebrate other women’s achievements, not just giving them by giving them a pat on the back, but by acknowledging the hard work, right? The struggles, the triumphs, all the things that come that come together to this, it’s not you know, it’s about saying, I see you. I appreciate you, and I’m with you, right, this simple act like I’m just gonna say that again. I see you. I appreciate you. And I’m with you. Close your eyes and say that again, I see you. I appreciate you and I’m with you. This simple statement that little mantra can absolutely inspire, motivate. And most importantly, it just is at the heart of that sense of community that we’re talking about. Listen, I’m recording this episode a couple days after Thanksgiving. And I, first of all, I’m watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade and come on share how old is she, like 7877 hours, I think it might actually both be 77 Share on Broadway or on in front of Macy’s at that parade at her age, like killing it just lit up my heart. And I was just all over that. And then later that day, Dolly Parton was leading the halftime show in a doll in a Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders outfit, right? Like, these are women that are just not giving up. They’re continuing. They’re showing up. They’re continuing to support other women, I’m continuing to support them, because I’m so impressed with what they’re doing. Right. So I say this, because many of the people that I work with are over 40, over 50, even over 16 over 70. There, it doesn’t matter how old you are this support of women and just showing up as your best self and letting other people support you and supporting other women. It’s timeless, it doesn’t matter how old you are. Right? So think of Think for a minute about how you can be a part of this beautiful movement. Obviously, you can go on threads, right? But how can you recognize and uplift a woman in your life today? Right? Just whoever that might be. Think about it. Just take a small step today, like could be as simple as just sending a text or sharing a post on your social media, right? Whatever, whatever you’re feeling. Because when women support each other, it’s not just about our individual growth. This is when our businesses thrive. When we’re sharing resources and networks. We’re also sharing wisdom and experiences and encouragement. And this is an absolute game changer, right? Especially in times of uncertainty. Right, which come on, we’re in some crazy times right now, in times of transition, many of the women that listen to the show are in some kind of transition, maybe you’re in corporate, you’re moving into entrepreneurism or maybe you’re just like, eff this six figures, I’m ready for multiple six and seven figures, right? Because, again, I wanted to be more wealthy women in the world, right? So this encouragement and this wisdom sharing, and experience sharing, is what helps us thrive in these times of transition. You know, there’s studies that show that organizations that have more women in leadership roles are more profitable and more innovative, right. And it’s so hard to see why we bring more diverse perspectives to the table, right? We create, we have creative solutions in our head, like we come up with all this crazy stuff. You know, it also fosters community well, being women supporting women creates a ripple effect, right? Like when I’m watched when I’m on threads, and I’m going on threads, like more often than I’ve gone on thread since it came out, by the way with this women supporting women thing. It’s like throwing a pebble into a pond, right? The impact that ripple spreads far and wide. And, you know, for me, it’s not just about having a lot of women, women followers, right? For my business, let’s get real strategically, I have a podcast called Good girls get rich by program is called she’s linked up. It’s no secret that I want to attract more women into my business world. But it isn’t just about the numbers, right? I what I’m doing and what I encourage you to do is actually connecting with these women and strategically doing some outreach beyond the thread connection. Can you put a call or two on the calendar for this week? This episode’s coming out? Yeah, December 11 2023. So so, you know, maybe it’s quiet. And it was maybe it’s a good time to do that outreach to for the next couple of weeks until you kick off again, in the beginning of the new year, right? doing actual outreach to these women, creating that community beyond just the connection, because this is how we can see more women in leadership roles. This is how we see more female entrepreneurs, this is how there are more voices and decision making spaces not because they’re followers, because they are connections, and we actually speak to them. And this is what leads to more inclusive and equitable communities. Right. So, so do go a little bit beyond the connection. Another way to go a little bit beyond the connection is mentorship, right? Whether you’re offering guidance, or looking to receive guidance, or maybe a little of both, right, we probably all should be doing a little bit of both. Mentorship is such a powerful way to support each other. You know, that passing of knowledge do you think about this, like I think about Allison, I’m a grandma’s girl I had, I grew up I had seven grandparents growing up, I had all four of my grandparents and three of my great grandparents. So I had both grandmothers and a great grandmother and I there’s so much that I owe to them and I was blessed and lucky enough to have actually known them, right. So so that passing of knowledge like as when we just did Thanksgiving, I made the cheesecake this amazing delicious, light pineapple, Italian pineapple cheesecake that my grandmother used to make, right. i She passed that on to me I can pass that on to my daughter. So it’s not just about passing of recipes, but it’s about passing of wisdom, right and inspiring confidence and fostering growth
right All the things. So as we’re, as you’re doing this, as you’re, as you’re building out your beautiful network of other supportive women, remember the importance of that of mentorship, right? And then, you know, how do you do this? Where do you find these people, maybe it’s a new network, maybe you start a mentorship program, right? And in your business, whatever it is, remember, the strength of the chain is in each link, right? So you are the you are important, you alone are important, you can make or break that chain. So this is why I feel like when women are lifting each other up, we’re not just strong, we’re unstoppable. Alright, I gotta tell you something, this is, you know, the mentorship and the community that I get to be a part of, in my shoes, linked up programs. It’s something I wake up grateful for every single morning, I’m not kidding, I cannot tell you the beautiful, amazing women that are changing the world. Right, changing the world. And that’s This is at the heart of why I do what I do. Again, I want more women to have more money, right? So I’m here for that. And, you know, a big part of the success of my shoes linked up program is the community is the support these women give each other, you know, listen, I, I have no delusions that I am the answer to every one of their questions, right? Like I love when we have this lateral learning thing going on where I bring the strategy, I bring the brainstorming, and I bring the container. And then they all we get to support each other? And did you guys get to write like, we get to do this, right? You get you get to do this. So you know, you know that I would love to talk to you, if you’re not yet a part of this community, you can find the links in all of our stuff in the show notes or just go to Karen yankovich.com/call, you can find that link, we can chat about what it looks like to to get to be a part of this beautiful community. Because it is one of the biggest parts of this is the is the the way that we all lift each other up. But let’s get real. It’s not always all, you know, flowers and and you know, happiness, right? So there are barriers that we have to overcome. But isn’t it better to overcome the barriers together? Right, it’s no secret that as women we face unique challenges, right, personally and professionally. You know, there was a study that was done, I think was 2019. That talked about women were making, like, half a trillion dollars less than men, right and the in the gender, the gender wage gap. This was before the pandemic, I honestly believe after the pandemic is probably wider. I think the wage gap gap grew. Because what I saw personally and professionally, were a lot of men and listen, I love men, this is not about men, but male bashing. This is about understanding that women have unique needs. And we’re still stepping into the roles of how are the kids getting to school who’s got to make their lunch while the guys were just like, gotta go gotta work and close the door behind them. Right? So I, I witnessed it, I believe that that’s one of the reasons why so many women are not willing to go back to the way things were. Right, they’re not willing to go back to the job that they were at. And that’s what’s driving this great resignation. Because, because it’s like, we’re we’re all like, you know, eff this, right? Like, I can’t continue to do this anymore. Like, what, why am I doing this? Right? I, I there’s opportunities for us to really thrive to really shine and to bring great wealth into our world and interested in generational wealth. But it starts with our decision, right. And there’s those barriers, there’s the barriers, that we’re still making the lunches and making sure the kid gets soccer practice. Right. So and one of the other barriers, one of the first barriers that I see so frequently, is imposter syndrome. Right? It’s that little voice in your head that says, Are you sure you can do this at what am I going? What are people going to think when they hear me say this, right? Every woman there is not a woman that I have talked to in my business that has not heard this voice at some point in their life, not a single woman. But this is where that sisterhood becomes a beacon of strength. This is where we need the sisterhood to lift us up. I mean, you know, part of the work that I’ve done that we do in in our shoes linked up programs is we write your LinkedIn profile for you because it’s hard to write your own LinkedIn profile. It’s hard to shine a light on your genius the way other people see you. Right. So we do this. And I have had the absolute, you know, pleasure of being able to do this for women across the world, and all levels, you know, of business. And I specifically can think of a woman who we wrote there and LinkedIn, we run her LinkedIn profile, and she’s like, she is a name like you would recognize top 10 Women who in business, not entrepreneurs that are you know, like this is a woman you and we wrote her LinkedIn profile for her. And the first thing she said was, I feel like I’m bragging. I was like, You did all this like you did all this. I didn’t make this up. You have to just own this. But even women at the toughest levels of corporate of corporate are going up can’t really say this about myself. Right? So I’m telling you this because if you’ve hearing that heard, have heard that voice or if you’re currently hearing that voice, it is absolutely Every woman is hearing it right. It’s one of the reasons why into all the work that I do. We build mindset into the work because so many women that come to me have ambitions here like this is going to be my seven figure year, I want to help 1000 women this year or a million women or whatever, right? Their energy is still here. Right? They know it’s here. They know this is here for them. But they can’t get breakthrough this herb, but my people will say, Papa, I want to help you align your energies and your vibe with your ambitions, because that’s where the magic happens, right? So we incorporate mindset, and and identity work into every single thing we do, because I can give you strategy all day long. But if you don’t get over the imposter syndrome, you’re never going to do it. Right. So. So this is where that community is so important. Because we can help each other with this, we can shine a light on each other’s genius, help us start to feel more comfortable as we step into this. And by the way, when you step from six figures to multiple, six figures, that’s a new identity. And when you step from multiple, six figures to a half a million, that’s a new identity, when you separate a half a million to a million new identity, and so forth and so on. So it doesn’t end, it’s never gonna end, right. So we need to understand that this women supporting women movement can help us overcome this, okay, it’s not gonna help us, it’s not gonna go away. But it can help us overcome this. There’s also barriers to break because there’s a lot of the women are a lot of the one I work with are male dominated fields, I was in a male dominated field for most of my career, right? This is where like, even more important that our collective support, right can make a tangible difference when you’re sharing experiences and strategies and advocating for each other in these workplaces, in business dealings. And in social settings. This is where we can break those, those barriers in those male dominated fields. Like my my background was in technology, I was designing Wide Area Networks, you know, for AT and T and Verizon, with bits and you know, bit rates. And, you know, we’re networks across the world. And very often I was the only woman in the room. And if I didn’t like shove my voice into the conversation, no one would have ever asked me my opinion, and to literally shove my way into the conversation. And thankfully, I was smart enough that they took me seriously. Because otherwise I would have never been able to achieve the kinds of things that I achieved there. But I had to shove my way into that. And I really think that’s probably one of the reasons why I do what I do today. Because I learned, I like I like, you know, sharpen my teeth on that. Like, this is what I learned it when in my 20s and 30s. I learned how to advocate for myself, because if I didn’t I don’t know what I would have still been doing but
but here’s the thing as women start to grow as this women supporting women, phenomenon continues, and women’s are to advocate for each other in the workplaces in business dealings. Like this is where we can recommend fellow women for jobs or projects right and or maybe pushing for policy changes or things that will benefit women in the workplace. These are the more women in these male dominated roles is what is what’s needed for this change to happen. You know, I don’t know if you guys have watched I talked about this a couple times. Lessons in chemistry. Is that watching it? Like I think it’s like the early 60s. It’s tough to watch because it’s exactly how it was that right? And here’s this brilliant chemist, this brilliant woman chemist who you know, absolutely is getting just her lunch eaten by in this male dominated field. Right. So while it is not like that anymore, thankfully, it is not it’s still there’s still plenty of things you’ll recognize when you watch that show. Right? If you watch that show, another barrier that we sometimes face as women as we build our careers and as we build our businesses is work life balance. Right? I talked about that a little bit when I mentioned the pandemic, juggling professional aspirations with personal responsibilities and you know, caring I mean, sometimes we overdo it like at least I shouldn’t say we sometimes I overdo it sometimes I need to have homemade cookies when the kids perfectly happy with chips boy, right like so. You know, there’s times that we go this home that we have to give and take on that. But it can be a tightrope walk to be trying to balance you know, work and life and gosh, everyone My kids are a little Mackey’s are prone now, but when my kids were little, it was insane. It was insane, right? But this is where community plays that crucial role. I remember distinctly, my daughter had a friend whose I was at that point I was when I was divorced. My daughter was probably in maybe in middle school. She was younger than when I got divorced. But let’s just say like she was in late grammar school, early middle school, one of her best friends also had a mother who was single. And it was so nice because we could break rules like I gotta go on a conference can can she stay at your house on a Tuesday night? Right? Like, those are things that like you need other women to help you with? Right? We need other women to do this. And this is where our community is so important the people you surround yourself with, even if it’s Can you walk the dog, right? Like, you know, now you can pay people to do all those things, right? You can find apps for all that but but, you know, like, I didn’t want to keep calling people to walk the dog unless they were asking me to do something right. I feel like I was always asked asking asking. So by sharing community by sharing resources and advice, or even just listening, this is how we help each other find that balance, right? This is how women find that balance. And this is how we start to create supportive environments. Because our supportive environment is not just our work environment, it’s our home environment. And they they offset each other. Right? There’s not, I mean, I’d like to, I think there should be boundaries, but I don’t think there’s a brick wall between them. I mean, I’m sitting here recording this, this is a bedroom in my you know, this is a room in my house. Right? So, so there’s not a brick wall between my office I don’t get in the car drives anymore. Right? So, so juggling your professional responsibility and aspirations, with your personal responsibilities is tough, right? It can be tough. So So creating a supportive environment and, and having people to talk with about balancing work and life, you know, where you can find flexible work options, like, can you watch my kid my kids sleep at your house on a Tuesday night, right, which we would, which was unheard of, right? Because it’s a school night. But understanding that support in your personal life contributes to and is is as important as your professional success. And this is, again, where the women supporting women is so powerful. This is this is where this is so powerful. I’ve worked hard to be able to do the things that I can do right now. I’m not willing to give them up, right? I mean, I’m not easily anyway or not for not not, I want to continue to be able to support my personal my business has support my personal life, the way that it’s been able to do that. Right. And, and I’ve faced a lot of barriers to get where I am right now. Right? So now that I’m in a situation where I can be more choosy about what I do and where I do it, and how I do it. I want to help other women do the same. And I want you to do that too. Right, our journey, the climbing the ladder isn’t just about getting to the top of the ladder, it’s to make sure the ladder still there for the people that come after you. Right. So. So this is where I feel like I’m at in my career right now that I can help other women climb that ladder that I have spent and believe me, you guys talk about this on a ladder. It’s a roller coaster, right. But the more work that I do, the straighter that roller coaster is the less dips, hopefully there are. So so there’s some nitty gritty right that we can do to get to where we’re at. Right, we talked about some of the beautiful things, we talked about some of the, the barriers, so how can we effectively network and collaborate and elevate each other? It’s not just about like building a network. It’s about building community. Right? So you know, this is where this is where the rubber hits the road. And if you have talked to me, personally, you’ve probably hear me say this, but this is not about, again, I’ve already said this in the show, it’s not about having a million connections on threads is about actually having some calls, some calendar, some appointments on your calendar from some of those connections, right? It’s not about having a million LinkedIn connections. It’s not about who what the algorithm shows, and how many people sees your post, it’s about how many people are on your calendar. That is true networking, that is building meaningful relationships. And that is how we help each other grow. You know, those conversations, my favorite kind of conversations to foster are, here’s what I do, who do you know, right? Because I also want you to tell me what you do so that maybe I know somebody, right? This is how we do this. And this is how we this is how we build wealth. Okay, we build wealth. I mean, this is now that we’re doing this for a video, I can do this in person. But like, if you sell pens, right, yes, I can buy a pen and that would support you. But what if I know somebody that owns a stationery, a chain of stationery stores that might want to buy 10,000 of your pens, right? That’s what I want. Right? So those conversations happen from conversations, if I see your social media posts, I might just go Yeah, buy one of her pens, I want to support her. But if I get on the phone with you, and you tell me that you have big goals, and one of your big goals is to find 10 new distributors in 2024. And I know somebody that can help you get there, I’m going to make that introduction that happens when you get on the phone. Right? That happens when you get on the phone. So you need to be genuine in your interactions. This is why like even with all the AI stuff that’s out there, and I did an episode a couple of weeks ago about how people don’t even know if you’re a real person anymore. This is this is even more important that you’re genuine in your interactions. And this is why when you have these connection calls with people, right, this networking, where you actually have calls on your calendar, it’s not just about having her hear about you. It’s about you seeking to understand her story, her challenges, her aspirations, right. The strongest connections are built on his authenticity, right and mutual respect. So when you can create these collaborative opportunities, right I mean, that’s there’s what’s one thing to network, it’s another thing to be creating, creating intentionally collaborative opportunities, right to work for mutual benefit. These could be joint ventures, referrals, or even co creating events or content or whatever, interviewing somebody on a LinkedIn live, right. These are collaborative ways so that you can shine you can shine In a light, and they’re genius, and they will be able to do the same for you in some way. Right? So we want to look for, like complementary skills and opportunities, right? Like, you know, maybe you maybe you are maybe you maybe you’re a website coder, right? Look for graphic designers that maybe can open the door where you can collaborate, right? If you’re on the same field, I have done many workshops with other people that that are LinkedIn strategists like, you know, we can there are people like, there are people that, like, I remember Beth Granger, and I did when clubhouse first came out, Beth and I would do these collaborative clubhouse rooms. And we weren’t technically direct competitors. But you know what, there are people that resonated with Beth, there are people that resonated with me, she got business, I got business, we got to collaborate, right? So it’s not just don’t worry about the competition, just amplify each other’s strengths, right? amplify each other’s strengths. And don’t forget to give back, right, as you’re growing in your career in your business. Look for ways to support those just starting out. That’s
why I do this show, right? Because I know that my years of experience can help people that maybe aren’t ready to join my program yet. But still would benefit by my mentorship and my advice, right? So, you know, I am here for that I’m here for that we have our free Facebook group, if you go to LinkedIn for women, community.com, you can see our free Facebook there, I’m there, you know, I’m there to be your mentor through all of this, right? It is my gift to you. So join that Facebook group, listen to these shows, and ask me for help. And let me help you and then help others. And this is how we dive into more of this, right? Because mentorship and leadership, I think are is the key mentors, I’m gonna say mentorship, leadership and credibility are the key to women truly stepping powerfully into that new chapter. Right? So even if you feel like an like you don’t like maybe you maybe you’ve been working for years, right? And you’re, you’ve got all these skills. And now you’re stepping into a new role as a consultant, you still have all those skills, right? But you feel like a newbie, you feel that imposter syndrome, because you’ve never been a consultant before, how could you know how to feel right. But if you if you own the skills you have, and you and you give back as you’re growing, right, and you have to wait till you’re grown to get back, you get back as you’re growing through mentorships. And stepping into your role as a leader. And and stepping into your role with credibility. That’s why we use PR and to so much of what we do, because the PR gives you that that credibility. This is how we reach new heights, right? Because the role of the mentors and leaders in our journey guide us, they challenge us and they inspire us. So so not only look for mentors, right? Be a mentor, okay? So there’s so many ways you can find mentors, and there’s be proactive in seeking mentorship, don’t wait for someone to come to you, right? Identify women who you admire and reach out to them connect with them, you’d be surprised at how many willing women are willing to share their wisdom and insights. Again, women supporting women, this whole threads thing, I bet you can find, you know, 20 people, if you’re not sure how to get people on your calendar, going over to threads, right. And I’m not I don’t want you to reach out and pitch these people. By the way, this is not what this is about. This is not when you start pitching instead of collaborating, it’s over. You’ve got to truly and genuinely, you know, back to what I said earlier, you want to you want to be listening to what they’re looking for, and looking, you know, understanding their story and understanding their aspirations. And that’s how you can that’s how you collaborate with success, right? So at the same time, this might be places to you know, other people might see you as a mentor, it might be a way for you to mentor other people and people know people who know people who know people, this is how we build our beautiful powerful networks. So embrace the role of a leader, embrace the role as a mentor, whether it’s in your workplace or your community, or, you know, just look for opportunities to guide and support other women, and share your journey share the blocks as well as the as the celebrations, share advice, share your learnings. Because this because the broader aspect of leadership is like this is where women feel valued, right. This is where they feel heard and motivated to excel. It’s advocating when we’re advocating as a leader, this is where we can have those policies past and this is how we can support women’s growth and well being both in the workplace and in your neighborhood.
