Equality and Empowerment: International Women’s Day Intervew with Sarah Kleiner

Happy International Women's Day!  We celebrate this year's theme by hearing from an architect and small business owner who has built her own success on the motto of showing up even when it's uncomfortable. Learn how this strategy led to building powerful networks and big opportunities.

1. Networks are a critical way to meet and be mentored by people who share your perspective and have perhaps overcome some of your current challenges.
2. Nothing is ever wasted- take inventory of the skills, experience and clarity about your preferences you gained even doing work you didn't love. Then. put those skills to use in work you do love.
3. Stop accepting the premise of all or nothing in your career. You can make other choices if you ask for a different way of working that supports your well being.
4. Women often won't show up in environments that are hostile to them, but you can't change anything if you don't get involved.
5. You don't have to prove yourself by being everything to everybody. When we open doors for one another, we have the ability to distribute tasks and support one another.
