Last night we launched Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association Warsaw Branch!
At a fully booked event at AstraZeneca office, we talked about advancing women to executive positions, mentorship, sponsorship, and breaking glass ceilings.
I had the pleasure to share the stage with four leaders from the industry where we talked about barriers and advice to women reaching executive, C-suite, and board-level positions.
Here are the top 5 takeaways from the panel for women aspiring to leadership positions:
– be bold and courageous in your goals
– make your ambitions known – don’t wait to be noticed
– don’t delay action by signing up for endless training courses or waiting until you fulfill 100% of the job requirements
– Find role models who can inspire your path upward and don’t shy away from asking them for advice and help
– choose a life partner who will support your ambitions and share the care and household responsibilities equally
And when it’s your turn – as a leader, lift younger aspiring women leaders up, share your path, make yourself available as a mentor, celebrate their wins, so that the next up-and-coming women leaders have a road to follow.
