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.
