Women are often relegated to secondary roles and made to follow directions instead of providing them. But as the business world becomes increasingly sophisticated, women leaders and entrepreneurs are rising up and carving a position for themselves. How can you own and amplify your voice to facilitate widespread, systemic change?
Leadership expert and inclusion advocate Simone Morris declares that your career is your responsibility. Instead of allowing others to govern your journey, you must disrupt traditional gender roles to live your purpose and make an impact. Yet making a bold assertion can be intimidating, so Simone says to give yourself grace and compassion while taking small steps to build authority by writing articles and appearing on podcasts.
