Video: How to be a Female Leader - Women's Hemispheric Network Panel
At the Women's Hemispheric Network conference on October 3, a panel of women with corporate and entrepreneurial backgrounds shared insights regarding women in leadership roles. "Being authentic, true to yourself, and having the courage of your convictions is what being a leader is about," said Managing Partner and CEO at WE Family Offices Maria Elena Lagomasino.
From professional to personal aspirations, the panel discussed the challenges that women face on a daily basis, as well as the unique set of skills they can bring to a project. While being confident and vocal are important, said panelists, women should also be aware of how they are perceived, especially in a male-dominated corporate world.
Watch to learn what these leaders also think about gender quota laws, financial independence, working with their male counterparts, and more.
