“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.

"Women make highly competent leaders, according to those who work most closely with them — and what’s holding them back is not lack of capability but a dearth of opportunity."

“It’s not what you know, but who you know.” It’s a notion that often rings true — and presents a career barrier for women, who face greater obstacles in building high-status networks than men do. Recent research, published in the Academy of Management Journal, collected data on 42 global corporations over a 25-year period, tracing the networks of thousands of men and women as they progressed in their careers. This research revealed that men are 40% more likely than women to build a connection with a senior leader following face-time with them. There are four ways organizations can bridge this gap and help women build effective networks, and it all starts with establishing “network sponsor” programs: organizational initiatives that aim to help women forge a deep, trust-based relationship with someone who has already earned the trust of relevant, high-status leaders.

This weekend I had the privilege of participating in an extraordinary workshop, led by an incredible professor Dikla Carmel-Hurwitz, CPCC, PCC whom I had already admired in courses at Stanford. But this time, something was special. Besides the exceptional content, the way she led the workshop and involved all the women present was simply transformative. I went with the intention of learning more to apply the knowledge with my clients, but the truth is that I was the most benefited. The depth and applicability of what we learned together opened my eyes to new possibilities, not only professionally but also in my personal growth. Thank you so much Dikla Carmel-Hurwitz, CPCC, PCC for sharing your knowledge with us and for creating such a welcoming and inspiring environment. Now, my next challenge is to organize all this rich content, share it with my clients in Brazil, and prepare my lecture about personal branding here in the USA for women immigrants.

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

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.
