Something we need to talk about more - women who don’t support women. My experience is sadly that Queen Bee syndrome is alive and well. Queen Bees are women in positions of authority who are more critical of female subordinates. Nobody wants to talk about it as it’s so much easier to highlight “women supporting women”. Which I also applaud. But we have to acknowledge the unpalatable truth. There are women who still think that there is room for only one female at the exec table. They see other brilliant women as a threat. If you find yourself reporting to one get out from under them as quickly as possible. You will never maximise your value if you don’t have a boss who believes in you and goes to bat for you. Choose a boss that wants you to win.

✅ “Every little helps” - this short sentence stays with me after reading an article about the importance of women supporting women in the workplace. My key takeaways: 👉 By providing support to one another, women can create a more inclusive and empowering work environment that benefits everyone! 👉 As women, we can encourage and mentor each other to break barriers and succeed in our careers. It's vital to listen, understand, and offer guidance to fellow female colleagues. Let's uplift and empower each other! What are your thoughts on this? Have you experienced this kind of support at your workplace? Want to know more? Read the article ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dpASjmSs #makehistory #women #support #workplace

Managing Partner of BCG’s London office; Managing Director and Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) - Retail & Consumer
“Be careful of her; she’s ambitious. Ice queen.” “It’s great you want to apply for the role, but have you thought about the impact on your kids?” Every International Women’s Day we celebrate the progress made and recognise the work still needed for parity in business and society. This year, I want to highlight ambition shaming: the all too common and often unnoticed phenomenon where women are talked down or held back from pressing forward with their career aspirations. It can result in negative judgement from others: that a woman is unlikeable, selfish, or obstructive for refusing to fulfil subconscious social expectations of how she should behave. We can all help dismantle this outdated narrative: 1️⃣ Be honest with yourself when negative feelings arise for you. Ask: “Would I feel this way if a man just said/did that?” 2️⃣ Advocate for women who are striving to do and be their best and recommend them for opportunities. 3️⃣ Above all today, remind a woman who you respect of her brilliance. Sometimes just having someone in your corner can make all the difference. Happy IWD to all the brilliant, brave, ambitious women. Keep doing what you’re doing, for yourself and for the generations of ambitious women to come. #InternationalWomensDay

Is there a divide between men and women when it comes to final controls at the top? Take the US, the most powerful, the CHAMPION of DEMOCRATIC tradition, which failed it most brazenly. Contrary to what the speaker talks about, it's not about Hilary, who, to many, is not a true woman champion, but rather a plagiarised man. Or, going to the other extreme, is it something still not fully resolved at the smallest human institution, the family, either? The European West, which produced women leadership, is more a political decision where women act more like men devoid of women in the humanistic tradition. Could it be that certain human roles have evolutionary blueprints? Or, is it the physical arrogance and the dominance of the fittest, as we see in animal kingdoms with few exceptions, like hyenas, spiders, etc? Could it be that, socially and politically, manly conduct always dominates over womanly traits, and women holding even the most powerful positions have to act like men? Isn't that what we predominantly see in the social and political sphere? Whereas, capitalism, seems a much fairer platform for the genders. https://lnkd.in/gTFYZDVQ

I had the oppurtunity to appear on the Antigua and Barbuda Observer AM show, with Dr. Jacquie Quinn-Leandro, former member of parlaiment and the first female to be elected to the lower house in Antigua and Barbuda. Fittingly, one of the focal points of our discussion centred on women's political participation nationally, and understanding the structural and systemic gaps that are perpetuating and fueling the exclusion of women from politics. The Directorate will be hosting an event under or Emerging Female Leaders Program, entitled "Picture her power: A brunch with trailblazing women", next month which will feature women who have been and are currently in politics and leadership. The hope is that events such as this will catalyze a rise in interest and opportunities for more women to enter politics, and will transform mindsets that seek to prevent or marginalize women, who are capable and ready to serve and make a difference. Women comprise half of our population, and if we refuse to allow them the opportunity to participate meaningfully, as it relates to politics, we are missing out on an abundance of capacity, innovation, and talent. We all have a part to play in changing this reality!

For this article, the AFR asked me two things: Q: Best advice? A: “Be careful and kind”. It comes from a leader in evidence-based practice, Victor Montori. It has become something an aspirational motto for me in my work. Q: Wisdom I would pass onto a young woman leader? A: Listening to people first transforms your advice into wisdom. I don't always live up to these ideals but in the spirit of trying, I asked three leaders I've mentored if they recall any useful advice from the past. Here is a summary of what they said: From Kerrie Wiley - Don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good. - Be generous with your time and be mindful of creating space and opportunity for others. - The value of collaboration almost always outweighs that doubt that we can sometimes have about sharing our ideas. From Maryke Steffens - Come to a group with ideas, no matter what stage of your career you are at. - Everyone has something to add, no matter whether they are junior or come from a different field - Create space for all people at the table, not just the loudest, fastest ones. - It is possible to be a strong leader and successful while also sharing your vulnerabilities with others. From Katarzyna Bolsewicz - Less is more sometimes - You do not need to know everything. It is good to know just a little, but then ask good questions, and let the group share their insights and knowledge - To discuss complex ideas or topics that may be seen as sensitive, best to have a conversation instead of using email.
I love the advice in here from The Australian Financial Review's Women of Influence. Be careful and kind, read widely, work in a field you are passionate about, grab opportunities and lodge a case for change in people's hearts. Huge thank you to our previous winners for your continued passion and determination to make Australia, and the world, a better place.

When you start each day is your first thought about your goals and expectations for before those of others? In that same moment are you taking action based on truth and the facts you know to be accurate? During this the month of March are you aware of how you value women who influence your life? Are you taking responsibility in your community and voting for local and national leaders that take action on issues and decisions that represent your truth? Consider addressing change during the month of March that represent truth you believe in based on facts that validate your truth, and support the women you respect and value.

The Un-Tapped and Un-Utilized Power of Women-Force in America: Have you ever considered the significance of women as a powerhouse in determining, influencing, and causing the chain of Policy and consequential actions geared toward a sustainable political civilization. Indeed, women possess unique strengths- the power of motherhood, family development, peace initiatives, love and hospitality, and the power of nursing and care, the Mother Theresa conceptual effects. These are not just roles but sources of strength that can shape current and future policies and actions. Your unique strengths are invaluable and should be recognized and celebrated. But what about a woman presidency? It's a question that needs to be asked and considered. Of course, yes. Why not? To all women of America, this is a clarion call to weigh the critical options and actions of showing and demonstrating the powerhouse of women to redefine the US political landscape in the forthcoming elections. It is left to determine if you want to be heard, played as a second fiddle (which you are not), or prefer a character persona to un-witty sounding scoldings. There are no such women as 'Childless Cat Ladies, or scum." Mutual respect is KEY.
