How to think about showing up in a male-dominated work environment:

1. Know your craft really well-- you will be tested.

2. Seek out allies who can champion your expertise

3. Think about where YOU want to go in your career-- just because you are showing up as one of the only women doesn't mean you have to be an advocate or in the spotlight. It's your career, do what you want to do.

4. REMEMBER when you are intimidated that you DO know what you are doing. So stay calm and do the work you are great at.

This month, we introduce a future occasional co-host for Dreamer Dialogues, Mirabel Breimhurst. Mirabel is a leader and creative mind and Dana's daughter. She's got her own insights on creativity and leadership this episode that you won't want to miss! We also talk about some of our future episodes where we go with other women leaders who are also moms on PLAYDATE episodes. We are excited to introduce this idea to you.
