“Be genuine, and be authentic.” Spanx founder, Sara Blakely, didn’t follow the usual path of “annihilating the competition” when creating her now billion dollar company. She didn’t look at starting a business as going to war, but rather took an honest and level-headed approach, leading to her unequivocal success. This shows again and again—women founders do it right; women founders are the future. https://lnkd.in/gxaZqUia #investinwomen #womenfounders #womenentrepreneurs

Changing Faces in Wealth Management As we witness one of the most significant economic shifts of our era, the 'feminization of wealth' is not just a trend—it's becoming the new norm. By 2030, women are projected to control the majority of the $30 trillion inherited from baby boomers, catalyzing a transformative change in wealth management. This evolution is reshaping client demographics, driving wealth management firms to adapt their strategies and services to meet the needs and preferences of female clients. From tailored financial advising to customized investment opportunities, the industry is pivoting to support a powerful new cohort of women leading the charge in financial decision-making.

Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges: The Power of Women Lifting Each Other Up As we witness a woman running for the highest office in the U.S., it's time to reflect on how we lift each other up. Deals aren't just made on golf courses; they're made through connections and introductions. It's not about what you know, it's about who you know AND who you connect. We've seen the transformative impact of women championing each other, opening doors to opportunities that wouldn't have been possible alone. Let's make introductions, say "yes" to helping other women, and create a culture where women actively pitch and support each other. This is our time.
