Who’s in Your Corner? The Career Advantage Women Build Together – Kim Whitlock | S3E26

What if the woman across the room you’re a little intimidated to introduce yourself to is thinking exactly the same thing you are? Women in Title founder Kim Whitlock joins Mary Schuster for a candid and often funny conversation about what happens when women stop assuming they have to figure out their careers alone. They talk about imposter syndrome (yes, even the women you think have none), getting brave enough to make the first introduction, and the people who don’t just mentor you – but say your name in rooms you’re not in. Kim also shares how one conversation with another title professional planted the seed for Women in Title, why she wishes she’d stepped outside her own shell much sooner, and the simple challenge she has for women still sitting on the sidelines: take the leap. You may be surprised by who’s waiting to welcome you on the other side.
