Women from all areas of our business are attending the @CBIANews’s #WhenWomenLead event this morning. Women Advocating Leadership at Kaman’s goal is to increase the number of women in leadership roles at our organization.
“Find people who can help you. Ask questions. I’m not trained in business but I have access to those who are and a desire to learn as much as I can,” says @vintanthromod. #WhenWomenLead
“One of the biggest challenges as a #smallbiz owner is hiring employees who match your passion and your values. You can’t teach people passion,” says Andrea Hawkins, owner of @berkinsblend. #WhenWomenLead
“I was floored when #MeToo took over Twitter. I was worried that I would be erased. But then I was reading the tweets and personal stories and I was convicted. I was worried about my years of work but my work was happening in front of me.” -@TaranaBurke
“You change it. Leadership has to recruit intentionally and make changes,” says @resetco_org’s Ojala Naeem on how to recruit a diverse workforce if your company and leadership is not diverse. #WhenWomenLead
“Don’t wait for a policy to get what you need. Ask for it first and see what happens,” says @adwoadadzie3 of work-life balance and #workplace flexibility. #WhenWomenLead
