It feels so good to walk into a room filled with over a hundred women business leaders. I had the opportunity to attend not one, but two women's business conferences (Michigan Business Women’s Women in Leadership Conference and Forté Foundation’s Fall MBA Women's Virtual Leadership Conference) today to hear from powerhouse women who are killing it in their careers and family lives. Some of my favorite takeaways: 🖋 People are not just trusting your map, but your compass, so you have to clearly communicate your mission, vision, and directions. 🖋 You need to speak the language of the people making decisions to make it meaningful for them 🖋 Our job as a leader is to create a safe environment for ourselves and others to show up authentically including space for feedback especially in high-performing teams 🖋 Schedule meetings with your teammates without an agenda to have human interactions and check-ins 🖋 When networking make it a goal to know 3 things that the person cares about outside of work “A leader is a person you follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself” – Joel A Barker University of Michigan - Stephen M.
