This is an interesting time for women in business right now. You have great leaders who are impacting the world, but they live in environments where the negative stereotypes make it impossible to realize the progress.

Others were the ceiling breakers who worked hard to make that ladder longer. You have generations of women who bullied others, especially if they took the attitude of, “I got here on my own, you can too.”
Another set of women are so mistrusting that they only look out for No 1. If you are fortunate, you find the mentors who want to build communities of women to move us forward, not create an us vs. them environment. Read more here…
