March is Women's History Month, and March 8th was International Women's Day. Women featured prominently in this week's Friday Five, five posts that touched a nerve with my LinkedIn community. It's Friday in Tokyo and Sydney. If you're enjoying Friday Five, please consider subscribing, and sharing with a friend.

This Week's Friday Five

#1 - ChatGPT CTO

Introducing Mira Murati , Chief Technology Officer (CTO), OpenAI , the company behind ChatGPT.

If you are going crazy about ChatGPT & OpenAI, you should ideally be able to recognize Mira Murati.

The engagement on this post appears to be a combination of a shared admiration for Mira, and a bit of hostility toward the person that posted it originally, questioning the motive. And of course, men behave poorly. I won't assume intent, but I can report engagement. And now I can recognize Mira.

Can't help but think of this interview with Isis Anchalee.

#5 Empathy Vulnerability and Gratitude

Gratitude correlates with longer-term planning, long-term potential, how much bigger I can be thinking - Julia Boorstin

Women are more likely to lead with empathy, vulnerability, and gratitude.

Empathy is incredibly valuable when it comes to connecting with your customers, your employees, and your investors. Vulnerability is an essential skill to invite collaboration. Gratitude correlates with longer-term planning, long-term potential, and how much bigger I can be thinking - Julia Boorstin
