“I think there needs to be more women stepping up and realizing that they proudly should play the game…I hear a lot of women second guessing themselves before they step out on their own. And that is what we have to recognize. We have so much to offer, and half this battle is just us opening our mouths and letting it out.”

Majora Carter on Electric Ladies Podcast

This Women’s History Month takes place amid significant changes to women everywhere, from political headwinds threatening progress, to rollbacks in corporate support. Women leadership has shown to be valuable in driving revenue, growth, profitability, innovation and recruitment. Just ask the 75-80% of respondents in a LinkedIn study that say support for women is a deciding factor for the companies they choose.

 

In our quarterly career collage, we’re celebrating valuable advice from five extraordinary women who are advancing today, and in energy, climate, sustainability and ESG – environment, social, governance – careers and industries. They share actionable tips that every woman can apply to their professional development and everyday life, and a powerful message: We’re not going anywhere.
