TUR001 The Power of Sisterhood

Throughout our careers, we’ve been told that building connections and expanding our professional network are the keys to lasting, long-term success. And while continuing to build your network is certainly important, for female leaders, it’s often more important to develop and nurture our inner circle of close friends and colleagues. In fact, research shows that women who have developed an inner circle - a sisterhood - of close female professional friends are often more likely to land executive positions with greater authority and higher pay.

Who’s in your sisterhood?

In today’s episode, I discuss the power of sisterhood and how building and nurturing your inner circle of female friends and colleagues can help you advance your career and climb the corporate ladder. I share how my sisterhood has helped me build my career and impacted my success. I explain why it’s critical to ask your sisterhood for support, guidance, and help when facing obstacles. I also share why I decided to launch The Unwritten Rules podcast and what you can expect from each episode.
