Those in my network often ask me, "How can 'I' help create more female leaders?
I am only one person, and I can't change it overnight. "
No, you can't change it overnight. However, you can empower one person at a time with actions like the one below. The best part of this post (besides Gina Bianchini sharing it, thank you) is that it was a female empowering and transferring her strength to lift you when you needed it most. Action, not rhetoric. Impact.
My first hope is that Trina Van Pelt has someone like that for her when she needs it; if you think it stops as you grow your career -- it doesn't - as strong as she is, I am sure every once in a while, she needs someone like that for her, and perhaps that is why she did it.
My second hope is that someone posts the same thing about how you helped them with the same thing, given how impactful this was on your success.
And, the buried punchline - only fundraise if you have too - and if you do, choose your partners based on more than just capital; it's a long-term relationship
