How can you build a team culture that promotes collaboration and creativity?
Curiosity can be a great compass if you listen to perspectives from all levels and roles in a company. Fearless listening and being open to ideas generates collaboration and creativity. Some people can brainstorm on the spot and others need time to process ideas so play to individual strengths and develop room for different types of contributors to thrive.

How can you help women leaders advocate for their ideas?
Women often spend more time perfecting their presentation than building support for it. I encourage women to make the time to network in advance and gather the votes they need. You may not play golf but there are many ways to build your coalition, strengthen relationships and soft sound your ideas in advance. This process allows for feedback, honing ideas and knowing where you stand when you walk in to present.
