On Why I Advocate for Women. My own daughter's story.
At the exact time I was being told women could not be managers in the automotive retail business, my daughter was being told by her HS guidance counselor that she shouldn't try to apply to the college of her choice.
The language we use to the men and the women around us is still not equalized.
Take a look around your organization. You say you want more women, but where are they and what are you paying them, what are their opportunities?
It all starts with intention. But when you look at how far there is to go with your organization, like any other significant project, you will need help to get results, not just have conversations.
Andrea persevered, got in, worked hard, graduating proudly from the college she selected.
She went on to have two successful careers and then:
Along with her husband, she is running one of Charlotte's fastest growing and most loved construction businesses with their reviews and projects piling up.
You're doing the right thing for your business, your community, the women in your lives by taking a proactive stance on Diversity, Equality & Inclusion, DEI.
We can help.
By the way, she's not kidding when she says she's coming back to buy the building!
