1 Question Every Self-Aware Leader Must Answer
Who are your top five trusted professional or business advisors? How diverse is their mentorship?
Are they an echo chamber of your perspective, demographic, or experience? Does your advisory board represent those you seek to serve? Are you missing a viewpoint that could take your leadership to the next level?
It's a challenge I am leaving with all leaders this year. Every time I receive the question, "Is Pink Mentor Network just for women?", I respond with "Have you ever had a female mentor? In your industry? How might your perspective change if the counsel you receive represented those you serve?"
The greater the leader, the more profound the learning is in that moment. I'm extremely grateful to allies like Michael Metcalf Jr. who listen, reflect, and strive to seek diverse counsel.

2 年Mentoring matters even more so these days, especially for male-populated roles. We at Women Talk Construction have a podcast where our listeners can be inspired, gain insightful information. find out about other organizations, feel a sense of belonging (not alone), and more. We also have a Forum where followers (our community can signup is free currently) ~ meet others supporting others, find resources, events, job postings, insightful articles, and more https://forum.womentalkconstruction.com/ . And lastly, my dear friends and peers have set up a wonderful nonprofit called Women Confidence Builders they have quarterly lunches & brunches with exceptional speakers, and they give away scholarships to female students. Plus, what is even cooler, many students from surrounding career centers in nontraditional career tracks attend these lunches and meet some fabulous women and men that support women. ??????♀???????
