Do you sit on a board? Are you an executive within your company? Are you an investor in companies where you guide or influence board composition? Do you know anyone who qualifies for the above?

When it comes to cultivating a healthy boardroom, don’t start with ‘Who do I know?’ Instead, think about ‘Who do I need?’ And then, reach out to Him For Her and we’ll gladly make those connections. #boardmember #boardleadership #boardofdirectors #womenonboards #startups #founders #innovation #future #internationalwomensday2024

Assumptions make an ass out of us . Wise words from a mentor. Sam and I created the leadership programme IMPACT: Women Who Lead because we want more women to be thriving in the work they do. We don't assume to know all the reasons why women decide to join our programme. So we ask them! These are some of the reasons women are joining our next cohort on 16th May. We have two places left. We would love to help you bust whatever assumptions you hold about your career, your worth, your leadership. For women in the STEM sector who need to see this post, please share it 🙏 https://lnkd.in/ed6pPF68
