I am all about supporting other women. My goal is that when my daughter is my age there are no male dominated industries. That there are just industries. That we as women have broken through the glass ceiling. There is an organization I am involved with that is breaking the glass ceiling for female athletes. Www.joinosprey.com I encourage you to share this with anyone you know in sports that wants to help elevate women. I believe in building each other up. Rather than tearing each other down. So build. Join. Help the woman next to you. Make a difference. You got this. #women #sports #osprey #motivate #inspire #elevate
Thank you for sharing!
As a female adviser in Brisbane, I support women entering the industry as currently it is still male dominated. The next hurdle however, is changing consumers mindsets to want to see a female over a male.
I am loving it... Break those ceilings... I wish the same thing for my daughter... :)
Ok two dynamic women her. Nicole Jen is doing phenomenal work and you could not have a better female to stand next to elevating other females.
Love this!!
What a great initiative!! We have come so far, but still so far left to go!
Well, it's not the industries alone, it's specific professions and roles that are sevey male dominated along with executive positions. These tend to be highly technically specific jobs. For example, only 17% of registered Architects in the US are women (I am one of them). Women hold only 10% of the highest ranking jobs in Architecture firms. Most women drop out as they have children and families due to demands of highly complicated techincal profession. Then there are surgeons. There are a lot of women doctors, but very few are women. Only 5.9% of Orthopedic Surgeons are women. Why? Same reasons, women drop out after having families. I have thought about this my entire career and I believe we need to support women in ways that allow them to excel at work AND support men is ways that allow them to excel at home with the family. When women have children is the time they drop out and that leaves a massive gap of women in leadership. If you leave your career just when you are getting started you aren't available to lead and change an industry when you are older.
We don’t focus on or seek certain preferential sexes, races, creeds, heritages, or ethnicities when striving for excellence. Unless one is looking to tarnish themself and/or get a lawsuit.
