How Women Lead

Women don’t wait for a seat at the table—we build our own. Every step we take as women leaders is built on the courage of those before us—the trailblazers who shattered ceilings and demanded a voice. Now, it’s our turn to push further, lift others, and create even greater opportunities. Progress accelerates when we take action. Tag a woman who inspires you in the comments.

So often, we think of starting a business as solely about the product or service, but it's also about building your reputation as a leader in your field. Jacqueline Schafer, the founder and CEO of Clearbrief.ai, emphasized how offering expertise early on, even before discussing investment, can be incredibly valuable. It's about validating ideas, providing genuine feedback, and building relationships based on knowledge and support. This not only helps the founder refine their vision but also positions you as a trusted advisor and potential future partner. ??

Want to be a part of something bigger than yourself? We've been thinking a lot lately about how we can collectively create change, and one powerful way is by investing in women founders. ?? In the latest episode of How Women Inspire with Tamesa Rogers, Chief People Officer and now investor, we discussed the importance of backing women entrepreneurs. Tamesa shared how joining an investment club with her girlfriends sparked her interest in investing and ultimately led her to become a Limited Partner at How Women Invest. She realized that investing in women-led businesses isn't as daunting as it seems and is a tangible way to make a real difference. Why women founders? Tamesa believes deeply in the power of community and recognizes that women are often underrepresented and undervalued in the business world. Supporting women-led companies drives profitability (the stats back it up!) and creates a more equitable and inclusive future for everyone. I’m so inspired by Tamesa’s journey and her commitment to this cause. It reminds me that each of us can contribute to positive change, no matter where we are in our own journeys. Join the movement!

Women control 32% of the world’s wealth—a staggering $72 trillion—and this number is growing fast. This "feminization of wealth" is more than a trend; it’s an opportunity for women to reshape the financial world. Yet, many women still face gaps in financial planning and confidence, with 74% of widows and divorcees discovering financial surprises after taking control of their finances. Here’s the truth: Women are not risk-averse; they are risk-aware. Studies show women tend to outperform men in investing because they focus on long-term security, diversification, and sustainable growth. It’s time to flip the script from caution to confidence. With access to the right tools, education, and community, women can manage, grow, and pass on wealth for generations. In partnership with the Nasdaq Foundation, we are sharing the tools, trusted resources, and education to support your journey. Investing isn’t just about wealth—it’s about your values and influence. https://lnkd.in/eMm6Ri6J #NasdaqFoundation #investing #wealth #womeninvestors #womenfounders
