In my leadership roles within USI and industry organizations, I help the industry grow by reaching out to younger women (and men) to listen to their ideas, thoughts, and goals. As I continue the conversation, sharing the benefit of my background and experience, I mentor them along the road to success.
What advice would you give the next generation of women in your industry? Believe in yourself and work hard. Speak up - take credit for your work. Don’t hesitate to highlight successes to those in higher corporate positions. Find mentors/sponsors and network with other successful women both in and out of your industry. Professional growth happens when you leave your comfort zone.
