The Power of Making Introductions and Saying Yes [Credo #2]

How Women Inspire: Invest, Lead, Give

“Deals are made on the golf course.” “Your network is your net worth.” How often have we women heard these phrases throughout our lives, only to be scolded or warned against doing these same things that men are encouraged to do? It’s time for us to change the cultural narrative around using our connections to create professional opportunities for ourselves and the women around us. This week’s episode 129 of How Women Inspire Podcast is about the second tenant of the How Women Lead credo: saying yes to helping each other!

In this episode of How Women Inspire Podcast, Julie Castro Abrams is sharing the importance of making introductions for other women and actionable steps you can take right now to increase opportunities for yourself and women around you!

Some of the talking points Julie goes over in this episode include:

• It's not what you know, it’s who you know.
• How women are discouraged from making introductions for one another when men are encouraged to do so.
• The power of actively making connections.
