Happy #womenshistorymonth! ServiceLink asked #women leaders "What challenges do women face when trying to advance their careers in the mortgage industry? What advice would you give to women aspiring to reach a leadership position in the industry?" Sandeepa Sasimohan says: 📣 The initial career years are tricky. My advice to all young professionals--women and men alike—is to try and fail while young. It gives you the grit to work through difficult situations. Also, keep trying your hands at different things until you find what you love to do. You don’t want to settle for easy and should be excited about the opportunities that lie beyond the grind. Additionally, find a good mentor early on that can help you flourish. Did you know? At ServiceLink, more than 40% of leadership roles are held by women, compared to other companies across the U.S., where 2021 Census data shows that less than 32% of top executive positions are held by women. #womenshistorymonth #womeninleadership Stephanie Hacke Tracy Venturino Caitlin Green Molly Dowdy Jeri Y.

In celebration of #womenshistorymonth, ServiceLink connected with #women leaders across its ranks to gather their perspective on ways to overcome challenges in the #mortgage industry. First up, Yvette W. Gilmore. "What challenges do women face when trying to advance their careers in the mortgage industry? What advice would you give to women aspiring to reach a leadership position in the industry?" 📣 Women want to see other women in positions they aspire to. They want what we all want— a legitimate opportunity to be successful and a demonstrated roadmap to get them there. At points in my career, I’ve been in meetings where male senior leaders have lamented women’s lack of desire to take calculated risks versus our male counterparts. I always reject this notion because the fact is that risk-taking is different from a female perspective. We need to align those risks with that of our spouses and partners and those who depend on us (children and increasingly our parents—who are living longer but not necessarily in good health). We need access to daycare and/or elder care. #womenshistorymonth #womeninleadership Stephanie Hacke Tracy Venturino Caitlin Green Molly Dowdy Jeri Y.

As a Board Member I am very proud of what CEO Michele Tung has built with homeD. A startup with millions of revenues coming out of the gate! Thought leadership at the Modular Building Institute , the First Nations Housing & Infrastructure Council - BC and other industry organizations. #modularconstruction #girlpower But man (pun intended) I am so glad that I am not a woman and not an Asian! I witnessed Michele going through some strange experiences which I am told are indicative of what female and non-European entrepreneurs have to go through in Canada (fictionalized based on stories from a few other Canadian female and/or Asian entrepreneurs, no actual events): VC: "You don't offer venture returns so we can't invest".  Entrepreneur: "We have a pipeline that will allow us to scale to over $100M in profitable revenue in 5 years. We can't promise you profitable billions because we don't think something like that can be achieved in such a short time frame." VC: "We want software deals and deals like we did with Adam Neumann who offered venture returns! Come back when your first buildings are finished."  Entrepreneur: "We won't need any more venture capital once the buildings are up and we have profitable revenues. Good luck trying to find the next Adam (or Eve)." Incubator: "We want you to meet with 20 of our investors for diligence" Entrepreneur: "How much do these investors invest and what experience do they have?" Incubator: "Each of them invests $5,000. We have wellness experts, mental health coaches, SRED consultants, realtors. lawyers,... Unfortunately no one with hands-on construction experience but we want to talk to you because you are a racialized female." Entrepreneur: "I was born in North America and my mother tongue is English. At what point do you think I was racialized? Or do you mean radicalized? 🤣 " Hats off to RBC and RBCx for going their own way and supporting so many great female entrepreneurs! It is a strange world when the bigger banks are leading the investment community in terms of vision.

In celebration of Women's History Month, DFS, LLC spotlights our Founder and Principal, Jennifer Cubitt. Get to know this trailblazer and accomplished leader below! Born into a lineage of bankers, finance wasn't just a profession for me; it was a family legacy. Yet, stepping into the world of banking, I found myself navigating a landscape predominantly occupied by men. Despite the challenges, I embarked on a journey from bank teller to management, witnessing the slow but steady shift towards greater opportunities for women in leadership roles. As I worked my way up, I felt a deep sense of responsibility to pave the way for the next generation of female professionals. I became a mentor, empowering young women to set their sights high and strive for positions of influence within the industry. My mantra was simple: aspire for my job, and beyond. After dedicating over 25 years to commercial banking, I took a leap of faith and established my own venture, Diversified Financial Solutions, LLC. With a mission to connect companies with the financing they need, I proudly adopted the tagline 'I find the money'—a testament to my unwavering commitment to my clients' success. My journey underscores a timeless truth: age and background are no barriers to chasing dreams. With confidence and self-belief, women can defy expectations and carve out their own legacies – it is never too late to start. As I continue to chart new territories with DFS, LLC, I stand as living proof that women's accomplishments know no bounds. Here's to empowering future generations to confidently write their own history of success.
