How strong is your women's network?
When it comes to career advancement, it is already proven that women's networks help women advance their careers.
Why?
It has a ripple effect - if you hear people talking about their stories, successes, and failures, they'll inspire you.
In this video, you'll learn:
• Why is it important to be part of a women's network.
• How female representation of success impacts your career growth.
• What makes women lose motivation in their corporate careers.
So just as an example here of why representation matters, I remember when I started my career as an intern in a corporation. Once I was reading their corporate magazine and remember I saw a picture of the board members.
They were all 60+ white males. On that day, I strongly believed that I'd never get a high position in that company. I was never going to be a manager or a director. I was just an intern, which happened early in my career.
I believed I was not allowed to be successful for years mainly because I didn't see any powerful women succeeding in that company.
Fast forward 20 years now, and we live in this amazing digital era. It's not so tough to find a digital women empowerment network. And if you can't find them, you can start your own women's network.
A women's network is important in our career advancement because we feel safer when discussing our feelings and fears. When we are together in a female community, no man will interrupt us (as constantly happens in the corporate world).
It's already scientifically proven also that 50% of the women in the workforce lose their motivation after two years of joining a corporation. Two years!! They prefer to do something else, usually in a less competitive environment, and don't give much attention to growth and financial independence.
Food for thought, isn't it?
Think about your career advancement: you are the average of the five people close to you.
I believe that powerful women networks can help narrow the gender gap in our world.
Let's rock, ladies.
