Even as women have made major strides in the working world, they are still held responsible for household work when they get home. According to McKinsey & Company's 2024 Women in the Workplace report, 4 in 10 women with partners say they are responsible for the majority of the housework - and this number has gone up since 2016. What's more, younger working women are experiencing this at the same rate as older women, which shows that even the more "progressive" younger generations are struggling to change those deeply rooted gender norms that place domestic housework on women. At C200, we know that support for working women can look like networking, it can also be as simple (and important) as doing the dishes. How do you support the working women in your life? #SuccessShared #WomenInBusiness

"Don’t give up. Set goals for yourself. Sometimes it looks like you’re going to fail, but keep pushing forward. I have a sign outside my office that says, ‘If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough.’" - Lynn Perenic | Argent International (C200 member since 2023) You can't know how long your journey to success will be.

Taking risks and getting out of your comfort zone (even if things don't turn out the way you hoped) is how you learn and grow! Does this mindset resonate with you? Let us know how down below!

Women don’t want to be simply accepted or represented in the workplace; they want to be supported—and be themselves. This year, studies like McKinsey & Company's Women in the Workplace 2024 report are warning that many companies are scaling back professional development programs geared toward women and minority groups, limiting their already-scarce resources to advance in their careers and find community in their journeys. It’s clear that even if we do achieve total gender parity in the workplace, that doesn’t mean women will be equally happy or fulfilled in their professional lives. Women’s networks and ways of achieving success in the current system require something different. Because of this, C200 is leveraging our strengths as one of the first movers for executive women organizations. Founded in 1982, we create communities that women need for their distinctive journeys—communities that acknowledge the complexities women face in the workplace and provide the access, intimacy, sisterhood, and bonds that are specific to the careers of women. We are thought leaders, market influencers, and champions of efforts that ensure women are represented, confident, and connected across all aspects of business. Joining our journey to advance women in business connects you with our incredible community of influential businesswomen.

"I do believe I’m an amazing businesswoman, but none of [what I do] started from that belief. It came from a place of: ‘This was put on me by the universe, and I’m going to force it to happen one way or another.’" - Ashley Black | Ashley Black Guru (The FasciaBlaster) (C200 member since 2023) Everyone's journey into business is different - what's yours?

Recent reports from World Economic Forum and S&P Global Market Intelligence both found that in 2023, women's representation in senior leadership positions dropped to the lowest rate in over a decade. McKinsey & Company's 2024 Women in the Workplace report finds that "fewer companies say gender and racial diversity are priorities for the organization." As companies deprioritize DEI efforts, women, especially women of color, are suffering the consequences - and the numbers show it. It's clear that women's advancement in the workplace is still a critical cause that needs advocates - and it's C200's mission to inspire, educate, support, and advance current and future women entrepreneurs and corporate, profit-center leaders. There's never been a more important time to join our cause and help us achieve our vision to profoundly impact and celebrate the advancement of women worldwide by changing the face of business, one woman at a time.
