Foster Strategies Tip of the Day:

Having a progressive, intentional mindset towards inclusion of females and diversity in hiring practices should not bring fear into the minds of my good, white, professional male counterparts. Rather, it indicates a smart business mind and a culture to attract greater talent-and people with a purpose. Even if it doesn't come naturally, you can get there!

However, if you choose to lump my line of thinking and approach into a 'women first' mentality (as some have) you're sorely missing the point and the opportunity at hand.
Frankly, you're dating yourself!

Open your mind, look around, choose your language carefully and ask yourself these questions:
How inclusive is my mindset...in thought and in action?
What may I personally have to learn here?

I'm not 'women first', that even sounds silly.
I'm talent and opportunity first, for everyone.

That my friends, is your tip today from one of your favorite cohorts in automotive who cares about you and your business. And happens to be a female. ;)

To your success-
Laurie
