My friend Jennifer Quigley-Jones and I recently discussed the importance of sharing resources and information to help women navigate their lives and careers. Jennifer Quigley-Jones said something that resonated with me. “You can only really emulate the examples you see around you…” That’s why I love Spotlight Her by Miss EmpowHer. It essentially offers digital mentorship from some of the world’s most accomplished women. Like and follow Miss EmpowHer for more personal and professional development tips.

Advice for women in their 20s Don’t just focus on being useful. Focus on being impactful. Learn the unspoken rules for success. Traditional hard work alone won't get you promoted. Understand the hidden expectations your managers don't tell you directly. Unspoken rules help you build relationships and get noticed. Ask clarifying questions: Why, What, How, and By When. Being an outsider can be a strength. Bring your unique perspective and new ideas to the team. Master these unspoken rules to get ahead and promoted: 1. Build Relationships: Prioritize networking and putting yourself out there. Be seen, heard, and remembered. 2. Ask Why: Why is this task important? What’s the broader objective? 3. Clarify What: What’s the deliverable? A quick email or a detailed slide deck? 4. Determine How: How should you approach the task? A 1:1 brainstorm or team feedback? 5. Set Deadlines: Remember, formal deadlines have unspoken expectations. What advice do you have for women in their 20s? Share in the comments ⬇️ Source: Gorick Ng for Big Think+

Advice for women in their 20s "Every minute you spend wishing you had someone else’s life is a minute spent wasting yours" - unknown Here are 10 actionable tips to help you stop comparing yourself to others and embrace the beauty of your own journey: 1. Practice Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, just as you would a close friend. Acknowledge your feelings without judgment. 2.
