Here is a shallow observation that has not stood the scrutiny of a full academic study: It is difficult to get women to participate in work-related social events. Personally, I know how hard it is to sacrifice an evening at home with my kids for dinner with a bunch of people I don’t necessarily know and make a real effort at a conversation. I get it if others feel the same. BUT, being present at events, getting to know new people in the industry and getting people to know you is actually important for your career. So how do we fix this? Asking the women in my network - what would make it worth your while to attend a social work event? Gili Leska Aleph #Israelihightech #telaviv #social

Face Time with Leaders Benefits Men More Than Women Navigating networking can be crucial for women to advance their careers. In contrast to men, women often have to approach it differently to succeed. Behaving like men can sometimes backfire for women, impacting their career progression. For women, boasting about deals with senior leaders might not be as well-received as it is for men. Additionally, being assertive or outspoken in meetings can sometimes lead to being labeled as "difficult" for well-qualified women. It's essential for women to adapt their networking strategies to avoid such setbacks in their professional journeys. Have you observed similar challenges for women when they adopt behaviors typically associated with men in the workplace?

Not all advice is created equal. Through my research of how women make meaningful career changes a key element is reaching out to your trusted network for support. The challenge is often knowing who to ask. Who will give good advice? How will you know good advice from not so good advice? This Venn Diagram from Adam Grant's book Hidden Potential is a great guide for how to weigh the advice KNOW: Do they know you. CARE: Do they care about you CREDIBILITY: Do they have knowledge in the area they are giving advice No one will ever know what’s best for you. Only you know that.
