P rofessional
The most critical solutions to the glass ceiling at work are within your control.
Solutions Invest in building sponsor relationships with leaders at
least a skip level senior to you, and mentor relationships with
people you admire
Master your executive presence – be your best, most authentic self. Seek feedback from your mentors and sponsors on your communication, gravitas and
even appearance
Change the paradigm – be a champion and role model of
inclusive, collaborative leadership. Speak up - show your colleagues how it’s done and encourage them to do the
same
PDo just one thing this month to advance a cause that matters to you…
SolutionsPick one candidate you like, anywhere in the country and make a contribution to the
campaign
Pick one issue that matters to you and learn about the bills
congress is considering related to it
Write a letter to one of your representatives about the issue that matters to you.
