Today, for Women’s History Month, we are highlighting Wendi Halpryn, A|P’s Performance Analyst. Can you share a significant challenge you've overcome in your career that highlights your resilience or pioneering spirit as a woman in your field? How do you believe your journey paves the way for future generations of women in the industry? Completing my MBA in real estate as Summa Cum Laude while working was a monumental challenge and achievement. This journey, rare for women in my field, has already enriched my professional skills and contributions to Atlantic Pacific Companies. My experience demonstrates the value of continued education and self-accountability, aiming to inspire other women to pursue further knowledge for their career advancement. Who is a woman that has significantly influenced or inspired your career path, and how have their achievements or support helped shape your professional journey? My mother, the cornerstone of my personal and professional development, instilled in me the virtues of hard work, perseverance, and resilience. Her support encouraged me to pursue my goals at Atlantic Pacific Companies, teaching me patience and grace in overcoming professional challenges. Her influence is a guiding light, encouraging me to impart similar values to others. Looking ahead, what changes or advancements do you hope to see for women in your industry or field in the next decade, and how do you plan to contribute to that vision? In the next decade, I hope for more advancements for women in real estate, aiming for a more inclusive and diverse industry. At Atlantic Pacific Companies, where diversity and respect are paramount, I feel empowered and equal. I plan to contribute by fostering connections, sharing insights, and encouraging women to join and lead in our field, promoting a culture of empowerment and collaboration.

In honor of Women's History Month, we will be spotlighting several of our employees. First up is Garima Sharma, one of our best and brightest Platform Architects. What are the biggest challenges or barrier women still face in the workplace today? Even though progress has been made, women still only represent one-third of tech workers. Women continue to face challenges with work-life balance, unconscious bias, and navigating career breaks. What advice would you give to young women today looking to follow their dreams and ambitions or starting their careers? In my opinion, women must invest in their learning, build a strong network, including coaches and mentors, and create a personal brand. Who are the women who inspire you the most? I really admire Indra Nooyi and how she promotes women. Her rise, from modest beginnings to leading one of the largest companies in the world while balancing her personal life and family with strength, is a true inspiration. What are your favorite activities outside of work? I enjoy regular Pilates and hiking, which provides me with mental strength and energy. I continue to improve through certifications and also enjoy professional networking.

Last month, the WSJ featured a section entitled "More Women are Reaching the C-Suite." The focus was on the growth of women becoming financial advisors and reaching executive positions in wealth management companies. Since my husband and three sons all work in this field, I took great interest in the articles. Several high-achieving women leaders were interviewed, women with amazing backgrounds. Their advice to their younger counterparts? - Be you. You have a unique skillset, unique perspective and work style; use them. - Seek out mentors, men and women, who will support your career goals. - Raise your hand. Step up. One area that was not specifically addressed was EQ. These days, IQ is important, but emotional intelligence and IQ together will help to create a corporate culture that embraces differences and uses them to the advantage of the greater good of the organization. Most importantly, each person and each organization must start with their "why." Why does the organization exist? What inspires each person to be a part of that organization? Cambridge Investment Research is hosting their annual Ignite conference this week. This is an excellent example of a financial solutions firm led by an outstanding woman, Amy Webber. https://lnkd.in/gMwhY7Pb

Meet Alice, Operations Engineer in the Water/Utilities industry, who found herself at a crossroads after 4 years in the field. "The First Five Program came to me at a time when I was feeling so uncertain, about everything!" Alice's experience echoes the challenges many early career women face in male-dominated industries, especially during those crucial first five years. Feeling uncertain, lacking confidence, and struggling to navigate diverse personalities—these are hurdles we can all relate to. But Alice didn't stay stuck in uncertainty. She took action and joined the program. "After the program, I feel a lot more confident. I've been empowered by amazing women in similar situations to me, but also more experienced professional women as well." There are only 12 places left in the April cohort and registrations close in less than 5 weeks. Don't miss out on this opportunity to invest in an incredibly under-recognised part of your organisation! 💪 🔗 https://loom.ly/VsAqD6I #TrellisCollective #FirstFiveProgram #Empowerment #WomenInSTEM #DiversityAndInclusion #CareerDevelopment #WaterUtilities #InvestInYourself #RegisterNow #genderequality #maledominated #earlycareer #graduate

Executive Coach & DEI Consultant| Human-Centered Design Expert| Speaker| Strategic Planning Guru| I help companies take strategic action to improve their DEI data around employee engagement and beloniging.
The workplace is often a complex landscape, especially for women navigating it with traditionally marginalized identities. Microaggressions, unclear promotion policies, and cultures with indirect feedback can prevent women of color from thriving. Instead, these environments pose challenges for taking risks, suggesting innovative ideas, or expressing concerns openly. The 2024 McKinsey & Company Women in the Workplace Study found that “The workplace is a mental minefield for many women, particularly those with traditionally marginalized identities. Women who experience microaggressions are much less likely to feel psychologically safe, which makes it harder to take risks, propose new ideas, or raise concerns.” Rachel Vicente, cpc, and I created the Authentically Me Fellowship as a transformative haven dedicated to supporting and empowering women of color. It offers a community of like-minded women, a toolkit for aligning your personal vision and values, and a pathway to authentic leadership. Joining this transformative journey means embracing your authentic self, gaining confidence, and finding the strength to navigate and conquer the hurdles in your professional life. In the Authentically Me Fellowship, we acknowledge the unique challenges women of color face in the workplace. We aim to equip you with the tools, insights, and connections needed to overcome these challenges. Together, let's foster a workplace where psychological safety is a reality, enabling you to thrive authentically. If you're ready to embark on a journey of empowerment and growth, the Authentically Me Fellowship welcomes you. Cohort 7 begins on April 17th, and limited spots are available, so secure your spot now! We are also hosting our first in-person retreat this June. Join the fellowship and be included in our in-person retreat!

National Women’s History Month is a poignant time to honor and reflect on the incredible impact women have had—and continue to have—in shaping the landscape of business, leadership, and societal change. I've been privileged to witness firsthand the resilience, creativity, and transformative power women bring to the table. Their unique perspectives and unwavering commitment to excellence not only drive innovation but foster environments where change is embraced, and growth is nurtured. This month let's take a moment to celebrate the women who have paved the way for progress and those who continue to lead the charge in making our world a better place. From the boardrooms to the front lines of startups, from nonprofit organizations to the heart of community building, women are at the forefront of driving significant and lasting change. The narratives of women leaders, with their diverse experiences and backgrounds, serve as a beacon of inspiration for us all. They embody the essence of transformational leadership—demonstrating strength, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to their vision and values. As we celebrate National Women's History Month, let's also commit to supporting and uplifting the women around us. Let's champion diversity, equity, and inclusion, creating spaces where women's voices are heard, their ideas are valued, and their leadership is empowered. To the incredible women who inspire us daily: your courage, your intelligence, and your leadership light the way for a brighter, more inclusive future.

To honor the start of the United States’ Women’s History Month, join me for my 4-part series of posts on the state of women at work where I introduce the “broken rung” theory and examine key workplace issues that hold women back. My goal is to highlight what we can do to create more inclusive workplace environments where all have access to advance and achieve their career goals. While more women have been reaching senior levels of leadership in corporate positions, the ninth report on “Women in the Workplace” by McKinsey & Co + Lean In asserts that despite these gains, women, and especially women of color, remain underrepresented across the pipeline. A key barrier to women’s advancement is the “broken rung” – a relatively recent term that highlights the barriers women face when taking that first step into managerial roles, making the initial ascent up the ladder challenging. According to the report: • For every 100 male employees promoted from entry-level jobs to managerial jobs, only 87 women were promoted. • For women of color, however, only 73 receive that first promotion for every 100 men. • In the C-suite, women represent roughly 1 in 4 leaders, while for women of color it is just 1 in 16. Falling behind at this early stage in a women’s careers, it becomes more challenging to advance. What can you do to reverse these trends and accelerate progress for women? The obvious answer is to fix the broken rung – but where do you start? One place to start is to dive deeply into your company’s data and culture to discover root causes of the broken rung. Research has shown, as has my own work with clients, that some of the more common findings you will discover are biases in organizational policies, procedures, and practices, outdated attitudes and behaviors held by management and senior leadership, and a prevalence of gender-based discriminatory acts or microaggressions that negatively impact women more so than men. Want to know more about these pressing issues creating the broken rung and what you can do to rebuild the corporate ladder? Check back in for my next three posts on this topic and explore my thought leadership articles on women’s empowerment and leadership on my website at: https://lnkd.in/gxnTAauG
