The Jen Marples Show episode 169 is here!
I’m revisiting one of my favorite conversations on the podcast with powerhouse Julie Castro Abrams, CEO of How Women Lead and Managing Partner of How Women Invest. If you feel unsure about your next career move or how to advance while juggling other responsibilities, you’ll find this discussion so helpful and inspiring!
Julie and I also discuss how to overcome challenges in today’s work environment, optimizing your personal brand to expand your opportunity and influence, and finding fulfilling work that fits your strengths.
We also dig deep into one of my favorite topics: how women can best support each other!
Julie Castro Abrams is a gender and racial justice activist who has spent the majority of her career working to build great women-owned companies and economic access for women. She is founder and CEO of How Women Lead, a network of 14,000-plus top executive women who come together to learn, break barriers to success, and make an impact. Using her extensive background, Julie helps top executive women harness and activate their power across all aspects of their careers and lives. She also leads the sister organization, How Women Invest, an early-stage venture capital firm seeking to realize untapped economic potential by focusing on the intersection of female founders and female investors, particularly those of color.
Julie and I discuss:
- How Julie empowers women through leadership positions and corporate boards.
- The challenges women face re-entering the workforce, navigating ageism, and gender bias.
- The importance of networking effectively, building genuine relationships, and mentoring other women.
- How women can support each other through making introductions, amplifying voices, and acting as advocates.
- Finding fulfilling work that aligns with your strengths and values in a supportive environment.
- Embracing confidence in midlife while letting go of negative self-talk.
- How to support, promote, and amplify women.
Julie says: You’re Not to F***ing Old! to Support and Amplify Women!
