6 Strategies for Women in Business to Manage & Advance Their Careers

As you may know, I recently co-authored the book, “The Female Factor: A Confidence Guide for Women.” The 3-part chapter of the book entitled, “Spanning Generations as We Journey Ahead,” focuses on the issues of women in the workforce over the past 50 years, looking at what has changed, what has not, and what women can do to move their careers forward.

I also want to share the work of our strategic partner, Elyse Flynn Meyer, Owner & Founder of Prism Global Marketing Solutions, also wrote a chapter for the same book that you may find beneficial. Her section of the book focuses on 6 key strategies she has found very helpful in managing her career, including ideas and personal stories specifically for early-stage women in business (1-10 years of experience). Download Your Copy of the Book Chapter.

The strategies discussed in the chapter are:

“I was compelled to be a co-author in this book because I feel that early-stage women in the workforce need to understand what to do early in their career to avoid challenges as they progress. By sharing my story, and specific actionable takeaways, I hope that individuals will continue their journey with confidence utilizing these strategies to manage their careers more effectively,” says Elyse Flynn Meyer.
