You may not realize this, but in Corporate America, relationships are EVERYTHING. But sometimes, in our individual journeys to the top, we become so engrossed in blazing a trail as the "only" that we lose sight of nurturing those relationships - especially with other women. In a recent conversation with Ashwini Balasubramanian , a successful Brown woman at the top of her field in the tech industry, it's a common experience. "Women are blazing the trails that have never been blazed before. They're fighting their own battles at each level....and you're not alone. It's going to be hard when you're the only person in the room - but just the reason that you are doing this, that you are paving the way for so many other women that are coming after you, should be enough of a motivator to break those walls down and help other women break those walls down. Celebrate their wins. When one woman wins, we all win." - Ashwini Balasubramanian, General Manager of Advanced Engineering at @HarleyDavidson. And The Being Conference is a great place to support other women and get the support you need, to celebrate each other's wins, growth, journeys, and accomplishments. At The Being Conference, you'll find a supportive community, a safe space where you can share your experience as a Black woman in corporate America and learn from others in the game.
