Don’t get me started on stereotypes. They’re everywhere. So, of course, they

carry over into the professional world.

Psychology is a predominantly female dominated field, while finance is a male dominated industry.

International Women’s Day seems like the perfect day to break some stereotypes, and today’s guest on The Be Ruthless Show lives her life doing that on a daily basis!

Whitney D. Walter is the founder and CEO of Harness Your Power, a company dedicated to the development and advancement of professional women.

Whitney's drive to help other women was largely a result of her experience working as a financial advisor where she felt her access to mentorship from more tenured professional women was limited. As her career in finance advanced, she traveled the country as a corporate trainer and was soon offering others the professional guidance she had longed for as a young woman climbing the ranks.

Now, Whitney speaks passionately on topics that often impact professional women such as practicing self-advocacy, understanding imposter syndrome, overcoming failure, and building confidence. Her company also provides training on LinkedIn and job search strategies, Microsoft PowerPoint, and other popular professional development topics. Her mission is simple; to help women feel confident and capable of achieving anything they set their minds to - both professionally and personally.

Whitney is a recognized professional development expert, speaker, and consultant whose insights have been featured in Yahoo Finance, AOL, Business Insider, and Authority Magazine. She holds a Master of Business Administration from Florida State University and a certification in PowerPoint from Microsoft.
