SHOW NOTES
Action Challenge:
1. Highly recommend checking out this book, its an easy & quality read
2. Taking these 6 skills that women have been proven in many studies to bring . Think about how you can elevate your position at work or on your linkedin profile by encorporating these:

• Healthy risk awareness
• The ability to see things holistically & thus manage complexity
• Our relationship building skills
• A longer term perspective - which ties nicely into a better way to negotiate
• A love of learning
• Drive for impact and meaning

Key thougts from Sallie:
Valuable skills + more career options + more information + financial power equals the opportunity to have an impact. A big impact
We need to stop “empowering” women as the definition of empowering is to give power to and for women to understand and realise the power they already possess
“Networking has been cited as the number one unwritten rule of success in business. Who you know really impacts what you know.”
We are on the fourth wave of feminism and finance will be the power we weild.
Sallie takes a lot of care in her writing to debunk the Myth that: Women need more financial education to invest
