“God forbid a woman be a CEO.” I’m not going to name the person who said that because the point here is the issue at hand, not giving attention to a man who makes such remarks... As a woman leading two companies, I think about the daily miracles we perform to claim a piece of the market and keep fighting. I work in the design industry, which, thankfully, is quite diverse. Many amazing women and men work together, creating a space that values inclusion and embraces diversity. I feel privileged to be part of a sector with this mindset. However, I must highlight that without the incredible women who have been part of my journey, I wouldn’t be the leader I am today. They were, and still are, essential to my growth. I also want to recognize outstanding initiatives like Ela Líder, Rede Mulher Empreendedora, and #GalsHaus, which are dedicated to supporting and developing women leaders. The fight is far from over, but we keep carving out our space. 💪 P.S. Know a woman who inspires you? Tag her here to show your appreciation. I go first: luciane robic, Paula do Amaral Rocha, Gabriela Maretti, Lucia Barros, Sarah Morais, Isabela Damatto, Daniella Massari Iervolino, Cecília Costacurta Junqueira Let’s share this recognition with our network.

Research finds that humor in presentations can improve outcomes — but it turns out this doesn't apply to women.

As a philanthropist and founder of fundacionCD, I am pleased to share that today, our team has informed me that we are progressing in obtaining consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (#ECOSOC). This process is not merely an administrative formality; it manifests our unwavering commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda of the #UN. But why is this status so important to us, and how does it connect with our daily work? Since the foundation of our organisation, we have tirelessly worked to promote the SDGs from a gender perspective. We firmly believe integrating these goals into business strategies is essential for sustainable global development. Therefore, if we obtain consultative status, we will have the opportunity to directly bring the experiences and knowledge of the entities we interact with to global discussions, participate in UN meetings and conferences, submit reports, and make statements that reflect our social commitment. Our work is not solitary. We collaborate with business leaders worldwide, creating networks and strategic alliances that promote sustainable and responsible management. Consultative status will allow us to expand these networks, working more closely with other organisations and UN agencies. As a founder, my vision has always been to connect business leaders with an international perspective centred on the SDGs. I believe in fostering productive discussions and lasting alliances that generate a positive economic and social impact. This step towards obtaining consultative status is a natural extension of this work, allowing us to contribute even more effectively to developing a gender-bias-free humanity.

The article below, from Harvard Business Review, delves into the challenges hindering female executives' access to informal networks, crucial for top management positions, and explores how some women overcome these barriers through strategic networking. Led by Inga Carboni, from William & Mary’s Mason School of Business, a study identifies four key networking characteristics of successful women. Firstly, efficient time management distinguishes these women. They recognize the importance of prioritization, streamlining tasks, and setting efficient communication norms while leveraging collaborative strengths to enhance visibility. Secondly, successful female networkers demonstrate nimbleness in their relationships, adapting to changing demands by fostering new connections and occasionally reducing emphasis on old ones. Thirdly, they engage in boundary-spanning, connecting with individuals across various functions, geographies, and business units to access new information, drive innovation, and pursue advancement. Lastly, these women strike an energy balance by combining competence with warmth, intelligence with emotional intelligence, and fostering positive relationships through humor, presence, and listening skills. Successful women manage their networks strategically, recognizing trade-offs involved and prioritizing activities aligning with their professional goals. The study highlights the significance of adapting networking strategies to navigate gender biases and organizational dynamics effectively.

¿Sabes cuál es el poder de lo femenino en posiciones de liderazgo? ❌ Hace 25 años, cuando inicié mi trayectoria profesional como manager, encontraba muy pocas mujeres en las reuniones. ✅ En la actualidad, he notado una evolución que valoro positivamente: existen más mujeres con capacidad de decisión real en las empresas. La verdad es que la perspectiva de las mujeres es clave para trabajar:   ✅ La sensibilidad de las mujeres es una fortaleza sin límites que crea comunidades.  ✅ La sensibilidad de las mujeres es clave para que cada detalle se convierta en impecable. ✅ La sensibilidad de las mujeres forma parte del futuro del liderazgo. ✅ La sensibilidad de las mujeres crea un ambiente más colaborativo y empático. ✅ La sensibilidad de las mujeres es fundamental para el trato con clientes de nivel y dentro del mismo equipo.  -- ¿Estás de acuerdo? #DesarrolloPersonal #Liderazgo #Motivación #Empleo #Manager

Where does hope begin? At the IDG Summit 2024, we’re not just talking about change—we’re actively co-creating it from the inside out. In less than a month, researchers, policymakers, business leaders, thinkers, artists, teachers, and advocates will gather in Stockholm to explore the power of inner development and how it can drive real, systemic change in our world. Together, we’ll bridge sectors, share best practices, and collaborate on inner-led solutions for some of the world’s most pressing challenges. This is more than a gathering—it’s a space to ask bold questions, embrace complexity, connect with fellow changemakers and turn hope into action. We believe that hope begins with change, and that change begins with you… If joining the Summit is on your mind, now is the time to act! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eGMWCyRg  📅 16-18 October 2024 📍 Stockholm, Sweden & online. #IDGSummit #InnerDevelopmentGoals #TheSpaceInBetween
