American Business Women’s Day - September 22, 2022

On September 22nd, American Business Women’s Day honors the accomplishments of businesswomen across the nation. Although this date is officially celebrated in America, I believe that businesswomen need daily support. Here are just a few key reasons why women are so vital in leadership roles, and in an entrepreneurial context: • Women value work-life balance Many women leaders balance kids and families with their professional lives. Therefore, they know how to multitask and set priorities, and they encourage their employees to do the same. • Women are empathetic Empathy allows leaders to build and nurture relationships with their teams. It also helps women in leadership understand what their employees need to improve their productivity and feel appreciated. • Women are strong communicators Good communication skills lead to high-performing teams and projects. Communication is also essential for setting boundaries and expectations. Women leaders who communicate effectively and confidently can lead their teams to success. • Women handle crisis situations well Organizational changes require flexibility and critical thinking. Workers look to their leaders for clarity and guidance. A leader's response to crisis situations can affect the workplace climate. Support businesswomen in your area, whether they’re experienced or just starting out. But let's also not forget that on this day and every other day, we should celebrate everyone who has dared to enter the business world. 😃
