Thank you to Atlantic Business Magazine for recognizing the impact and importance of continuing to celebrate women in business. Many people do not realize that the advertising industry continues to be male dominated in senior leadership positions.  It makes me tremendously proud to accept this award for the amazing growth our agency has had.  I share this honor with my female business partner Susan Clarke and all the female leaders at m5 (btw, 75% of our manager level and above employees are women and that is double the industry average). We have proven that putting women in leadership positions brings diversity, creativity, collaboration, and empathy to the workplace.  And we have shown that you can do that and be successful in business.   This International Women’s Day I am reflecting on the great conversations I have been part of the last few days.  Here is a quick summary of key nuggets of advice I have heard: Take up space.  Your ideas and thoughts have value.  Share them confidently.  Share them with a smile. Be your true self.  Don’t hide parts of yourself or your personality.  Be authentic. Be vulnerable. This should not be misunderstood as not being professional. Shake off the fear.  You are going to be afraid, there is no way to avoid that.  But learn and practice putting that fear aside. Allow room for people to grow and change.  This is the goal in life, so give others that benefit as well. Be kind.  Always. Full stop. Laugh often and deep. Find a career, workplace, colleges, friends that you can laugh with.  I didn’t hear this, but I felt it. Lots of laughing this week and it reminded me what a privilege it is to have that in my life at work and at home.

I can confirm that everything is bigger in Texas. For example, did you know that Dallas Fort Worth International Airport covers an area larger than Manhattan? (17,207 acres / 26.89 square miles / 69.63 square kilometers, to be precise.) Many of the highways have six wide lanes, and there are turnpikes galore! Understanding the mammoth scale of a lot of the US infrastructure helps us understand why a lot of it has not been upgraded since the 1970s, more than fifty years ago. What is clear though is that the time seems to be now; many upgrades are in progress across the country, with some already completed. (Newark and LaGuardia airports are very visible examples of this.) Regardless of the election results, it looks like this path will still continue, with a big focus on more efficient infrastructure. There is no doubt that there are opportunities there. Speaking of upgraded infrastructure, it was wonderful to visit the relatively new Dallas office amidst many engaging meetings with advisors and institutions. Note to self: don't visit Texas in August again! (over 100 F / 40 C) 🌡️ 🥵 Dixie Green Rose Lord Mary Wallace #dwsambassador #xtrackers #togetherwegrow #usgreeninfra #texas
