Q. How can we encourage more women to pursue senior leadership roles? A. We must do more to: - understand the value women bring - offer professional development - build a real talent pipeline - understand the benefits of leadership diversity - advocate for female leadership

Q. What is the most important piece of advice you have been given? A. You must believe in yourself and be yourself. Don’t try to be someone else. Your differences are your strength and your empathy will lead to change.

Q. How have you overcome these barriers? A. I try not to feel guilty at work for being a mother and at home for being a worker. I believe in my capabilities and know my added value.

Thanks Linda for sharing your thoughts and advice! #IWD2023 #EmbraceEquity

Q. How can women overcome the barriers they may face in their career? A. The tactics I mentioned above can help. But it’s also important to seek out environments where you can thrive and workplaces that address systemic biases while promoting gender equality.

“By shining a light on the issues that still need to be addressed, we can work towards creating a more equitable world for the collective.” Our head of success Linda Holzwarth talks to us for #IWD2023 #EmbraceEquity

As well as some of the cultural and structural barriers they’ve faced, strategies to overcome them and why today means so much. #women #WomenInTech #careers #NoCeilings
