Published on: March 7, 2024
As we approach International Women's Day, it’s a time to not only celebrate but reflect on the journey of incredible women who have paved the way for future generations. This blog sheds light on a few of Multiview’s female leaders who graciously opened up about their experiences, sharing their insights, wisdom, and advice on navigating the challenges and triumphs of being a woman in leadership. Dive into these inspiring discussions and gather invaluable wisdom from those who have gone before, ensuring the path remains illuminated for others to follow.
Throughout a person’s career, they will face challenges. But it’s through these challenges that one can grow and develop into a steadfast leader. Here are some of the lessons our Multiview women have learned along the way:
Take the risk and speak up or you'll never get the opportunity. Even if you don't think you're ready. - Sarah Sutherland, Senior Director, Partner Relations
When looking to grow in any career field, it's often necessary to take the initiative and step outside one's comfort zone. This is why career growth involves not just climbing the corporate ladder but also personal development. Our trailblazing women shared their insights and strategies that propelled them to their current positions, offering a blueprint for aspiring leaders. A common thread among their stories was the emphasis on hard work. But hard work is just the beginning.
Getting a leadership role isn’t always about who you know, but it certainly helps when other leaders know who you are and what you’re capable of. - Maria Brockman, Director of Marketing
Women on the leadership track often grapple with various challenges, from juggling career ambitions and familial duties to battling self-doubt and societal stereotypes that label them as emotional. Many feel isolated without a supportive network, increasing feelings of imposter syndrome and questioning their leadership potential. However, leadership is not a distant dream reserved for a select few. By employing strategic approaches to personal and professional growth, women can navigate through these barriers, transforming thoughts of inadequacy into steppingstones towards confident leadership:
Play to your strengths, be authentic, and don't attempt to mimic male leadership styles. Embrace your authenticity as your power.
- Theodora Issaris, Director, Sales
The women of Multiview shared a wealth of advice for those aspiring to lead, emphasizing the importance of hard work, self-advocacy, and authenticity. However, amidst the myriad pieces of advice, one resounding message stood out time and time again: believe in yourself. This sentiment, echoed by all the women interviewed, serves as a powerful reminder that at the core of effective leadership lies unwavering self-confidence. It's not merely about trusting your capabilities but also embracing your journey and recognizing your potential to inspire and make a significant impact. As future female leaders come forward, let "believe in yourself" be the mantra that guides you toward achieving your fullest potential and making a mark.
Don’t sacrifice who you are just to get to where you want to be. Believe in yourself and be confident in your personality. Trust that you know what you’re doing just as much as anyone else. - Jessica Lee, Senior Director, Sales
A special thank you to the women who shared their stories and insights. Their journeys remind us that leadership is a continuous process of self-discovery, growth, and resilience. May we be reminded to carry forward their wisdom and courage as we strive to raise up even more confident and empowered female leaders. Here's to every woman daring to lead!
