When hiring, define EXACTLY what you need: technical skills AND culture add. HR can help with a lot, but if you haven't nailed your must-haves, making a great hire will be tough. 📽👉🏻 buff.ly/gq21cem

Key questions to ask when doing strategic planning:
What are your options?
What are your risks?
What are your trade-offs?
What's your critical path? (& How do you protect it?)

Per McKinsey & Lean In's Women in the Workplace Study: only 72 women for every 100 men get promoted into first-level management.
This is the biggest leak of talented women that stops them from moving into leadership positions up the chain. 📽👉🏻 buff.ly/i5560rg

Ever catch yourself in behaviours that bolster impostor syndrome & wonder WHY you do stuff that undermines you?
Simple: We keep these behaviours because THEY WORK. Perfectionism, being superwoman, doing it all alone—you've used them for years. But they come with a hidden cost. 📽👉🏻 buff.ly/jn7nU1O
