Career Advice for My Future Daughter
Posted in: Uncategorized
It’s a fact. Representation of women in leadership is lagging, representation of women on boards is lacking, and our ability to close the pay gap is languishing — across nearly every industry, including marketing and advertising. This begs a question: How do we create opportunities to build women’s careers — and salaries — in our industry?
As both a business leader and a mother, I have seen my career take off in the years since I started my family. I’ve had the opportunity to help build an agency that has doubled in size, even as I’ve doubled the size of my family.
Now that I’m pregnant with my second child — a girl, no less — I am more motivated than ever to share ways women can successfully build their careers and their families. My hope is that my son and daughter will grow up in a world where gender has no yardstick, in a world where families, career paths and parenting responsibilities are free to take many different forms.
