Fondrevay Forbes article she highlights why having women on the M&A team makes a difference for successful outcomes. “5 “superpowers” women possess that contribute to deal success: Women illuminate the human side of M&A (which tends to be ignored) Women the intuition to see things (which may not be obvious to others) Women have people open up to them (in ways that are insightful) Women simplify the messaging (so more people can understand) Women can anticipate future challenges (thanks to intuition on what could go wrong).” In our HerCsuite® Boards Mastermind we talk about M&A frequently and had an entire session focused on real world case studies.

I love this article for many reasons, both the content and the author. Consulting For Human Services (CFHS) has almost exclusively a women led M&A team. We think our clients appreciate the approach. “These are the five “superpowers” women possess that contribute to deal success: Women illuminate the human side of M&A (which tends to be ignored) Women the intuition to see things (which may not be obvious to others) Women have people open up to them (in ways that are insightful) Women simplify the messaging (so more people can understand) Women can anticipate future challenges (thanks to intuition on what could go wrong)”

Celebrate Women's History Month with us as we recognize and share the extraordinary contributions of women! Thompson Coburn is pleased to spotlight the achievements and contributions of our trailblazing women within our firm and in our communities. In today's Q&A spotlight, we feature Michele Kloeppel. Michele, co-chair of the Corporate and Securities Practice Group and a member of the firm's Management Committee, offers invaluable guidance as an advisor to public and private companies. Q: What advice would you give to women looking to advance their careers? A: This is a service business; relationships are important, internally and externally. Be respectful to everyone. If you make a mistake, own it, learn from it and move on (best you can). Q: What role has mentorship played in your professional growth? A: When I was an associate at TC, a partner, who was not understanding my legal concern, asked me to slow down and start over so that she could follow my thinking. I try to do that as well. It is always best to take the time to understand everyone’s concerns on the team in order to provide better quality work product and advice to our clients.
