I would say this is true for women led brands as well. Women led brands have to come farther in their growth, be more buttoned up and prepared to appraoch investors and in general do more. It seems we do this naturally already. I believe part of this is because we are trained to be efficient. We need to make the points we need to make as quickly and concisely as possible. The attention span of those around is limited and therefore we need to bring our A game to every game. I once had a supervisor who told me, "He who writes the agenda, owns the meeting." I have found this to be true over and over again. Come prepared, show them what you know and what you are capable of. Stacy Bernstein + Merav (Kaplan) Goldman
When women are in the room, decisions are more carefully considered. A study published in the Harvard Business Review confirms what we already know: women come prepared. They attend meetings ready to work, ask tough questions, and challenge the status quo with critical thinking that shapes major decisions. They’re unafraid to say, “I don’t know”—because that honesty opens the door to better collaboration, less competition, and smarter leadership. When women are in the room, decisions are more thoughtful, oversight is stronger, and accountability rises. And this holds true across the board. Companies see greater success, peace negotiations hold firm, and governments are more stable and less likely to resort to force. As Ruth Bader Ginsburg said: "Women belong in all places where decisions are being made."
