Studies show that only 2.3% of VC funds are distributed to women-owned businesses. Yet companies with women leaders accrue additional customers and revenue. How can you encourage and advance women entrepreneurs in their positions?
Women entrepreneurs aren’t often aligned with traditional notions of qualifying startups. Consequently, they conform to limiting beliefs about their abilities and retract their efforts without seeking help. As an advocate for women in business, Eric Samdahl encourages women to identify possibilities in various areas, including business, family, and community, and harness their intuition to develop creative ideas that dismantle conventional barriers.
Join Andrea Heuston in today’s episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show as she chats with Eric Samdahl, ZADASI’s Co-founder and CEO, about empowering women to make a difference in business. Eric talks about the intuition effect, his process for advancing women’s success, and ZADASI’s legacy.
