Women Leadership In The Workplace
Key Takeaways
Our CEO and Founder, Jessica Chen, recently hosted a Soulcast Media | LIVE event on LinkedIn, where she interviewed the CEO of the Chinese Hospital System, Dr. Jian Zhang, and Attorney at Bartko Zankel Bunzel and Miller, An Nguyen Ruda. They shared tips and personal stories about women leadership in the workplace. Here are the takeaways for VIP Comm Pass members:
- A clear direction on where you want to be in your career, CEO, Partner at a law firm, etc., will help you make strategic decisions.
- Finding a mentor who will support you and give you opportunities to grow is critical.
- Be attuned to the people in your circle who want to give you support and opportunities.
- Don't have a preconceived of who your mentor "should" be.
- Being able to speak clearly, confidently, and concisely is critical to career success.
- Do the things that are difficult and make you uncomfortable.
- If something makes you uncomfortable, don't go around it, don't go over it, go through it.
- It is important for you to stand out. Especially if you are in a large corporation.
- If you only chase the highest paycheck, you might miss opportunities to invest in yourself.
- Wearing many hats and diversifying your skillset will help you transition into roles that can give you more opportunities.
- Use your difference, whether it be your gender or nationality, as an advantage and not a limitation.
- When someone thinks you are an aggressive woman for being confident and assertive, it reflects more on them than you.
