Over the years we’ve been inspired by many accomplished women. We’ve read about “leaning in” and negotiating for what we want and deserve. We’ve been moved by women like Oprah Winfrey, Sheryl Sandberg, Tracy Moore, Christine Sinclair, Lilly Singh and most recently, Kamala Harris. Which makes us wonder — how did they manage their careers before they became household names? How did they manage teams, make decisions and balance their life?
Instead of trying to recreate their history, we decided to ask our network of accomplished women from different fields how they manage their career. How their presence made a difference in the workplace. These women may not all be familiar names (yet!) but they are a true inspiration to us. They are your everyday FABULOUS women. The ones with a strong work ethic and the ability to get sh*t done while uplifting one another.
We think it’s time the world is inspired by women like you, to help educate why our diverse opinions matter and start a meaningful conversation.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be posting stories and eventually launching a podcast about the women we’ve reached out to for this project.
