When we sat down with @drkatemason, she dropped some incredible insights on communication in entrepreneurship—especially for women.
* Authenticity trumps just trying to appear “confident.” It’s about what value you provide, not how you’re perceived.
* Cultural conditioning often muffles women’s true voices. Kate’s advice? Embrace your full, authentic self.
* Be “powerfully likable.” It’s not a choice between power or likability—you can have both through genuine communication.
Kate’s advice goes beyond the traditional playbook, offering practical strategies for women to thrive by being themselves.

When we sat down with @humancentricleader, she threw out some serious truth bombs:
In today’s business landscape, women-owned companies are showing remarkable growth, outpacing their male-led counterparts by significant margins. Yet, a stark disparity in funding threatens to hold back this economic powerhouse.
* Women-owned businesses are growing 82% faster in revenue compared to men-owned businesses.
* In terms of employment, women-owned businesses are growing at a staggering 250% faster rate.
* Despite this impressive growth, only 3% of global investment funding goes to women-led ventures.
* This 3% amounts to $107 billion in funding.
These statistics reveal not just a gender gap, but a massive economic opportunity. By underinvesting in women-led businesses, the global economy is potentially leaving significant returns on the table.
Tune in TOMORROW for an exciting and illuminating conversation covering a wide range of topics, from hiring practices to managing team dynamics. This discussion offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs at various stages of their business journey—you won’t want to miss it!
