TRENDING NOW:
A recent study by McKinsey & Company found that companies with more women in leadership roles are 25% more likely to outperform their competitors financially. Despite this, women still hold only 10% of CEO positions in Fortune 500 companies. The need for strong, empowered female leaders is greater than ever, making conversations like today’s incredibly important.
