I find this article interesting, as it relates to women in CRE and the issues are prevalent in other industries, as well. The article speaks on the departure of women in the CRE industry and the struggles they face when trying to advance within their careers. This article hits home, as I have experienced similar advancement struggles throughout my Accounting Career and as a mother. We as career women and mothers, we have to be resilent, pivot and overcome each new challenge to continue to climb to our destination. #Wicre What are your thoughts?

Thanks, Barbi Reuter Wendy Mann. Insightful article. Interesting data point: Nearly 45% of respondents to the CREW survey cited “the broken rung,” or the idea that the biggest career hurdle for women is the first step from entry-level to manager. IMO, this is where professional development has to start. BEFORE entry level. BEFORE manager. Professional development shouldn’t only be earmarked for middle management to attain upper management. We need to start EARLY. #BrokenRung #CareerHurdle

Missing Voices on Corporate Boards To Their Peril Sharing Forbes Coaches Council's Kelly C. Huang's post about the missed value creation opportunity when corporate boards do not add women to their boards. I connected with Kelly when I joined Forbes Communications Council. She gave me great advice on Forbes Councils and networking for board roles. Like Kelly, I am optimistic that corporate boards for companies of all sizes will see the value when their board looks like and values their diverse stakeholders, consumers and the public and act accordingly. Representation numbers matter upfront to ensure seats at the boardroom but the board culture must be equally inclusive of different perspectives as the company culture itself. Gender, disability and ethnicity just to name a few. #CorporateBoards #WomenCorporateDirectors #SeatsOnTheBoard #BoardDiversity #DiversityStartsAtTop #RepresentationMatters #AAPIBoardDirectors #DisabilityInclusion #WomenSupportingWomen #ForOurDaughters #ForbesCommunicationsCouncil #ForbesCoachesCouncil #ThoughtLeadership

This unconscious bias exists here and globally - but the fact is it is not true and this bias should not exist. What do you think? What is the “ right age” for anyone - female or male- to lead? Women are the right age to lead at any age . Personally I think older the better. Even though I was leading and a Snr Exec VP of a company at age 25 (and then President , then my own company, bear in mind I started working young with my own film TV career and profitable photography business as a teenager ) what I bring now is so much more value , insight and wisdom and greater expertise through wider experiences to draw from. So go ahead “ tech bros” and “ company investment bros” and in any industry- seriously fund and have plenty of us in C Suite and on our boards. Your company will be better off for it and data shows women led companies do better in many many instances. “The research, published in the Harvard Business Review, examines how age bias is used to justify discrimination against women. Researchers surveyed 913 female leaders in four U.S. industries: higher education, faith-based nonprofits, law and health care. “No age was the right age to be a woman leader,” Amy Diehl, PhD , a gender equity researcher and one of the co-authors of the report, told VOA via email. “They go from being perceived as too young to too old in an instant.” #business #leadership

Doing some research on the history of my new company and came across this Fortune article from almost 10 years ago. Although some progress has been made and the % of women on U.S. corporate boards has increased from 17% to 27%, the average board is still only 12% diverse and many of the same issues remain. This article is a great example of how we can partner with top talent to help change that. If you want to learn how we can help you and your own board aspirations, please drop me a note.

Why does everyone think women need to be completely independent? It's perfectly fine for women to focus on home and family if they choose to. Not every woman needs to pursue independence or a career outside the home to be valued. Being at home and taking care of the family is an important role that should be respected and appreciated. Women shouldn't feel pressured to hide their true selves or conform to societal expectations of independence. Let's celebrate and support the choice to prioritize home and family, recognizing the strength and value in these roles.
