What must women do to secure their place at the table alongside male counterparts? The solution, in my view, is refreshingly straightforward. We ought to adopt a strong presence in the workplace, within our communities, and in our personal spaces—mirroring the qualities that men have long exhibited. The goal isn't to compete with men, but rather to emulate their historical success: embracing fearlessness, taking risks, radiating confidence, occupying the front and center, and voicing our thoughts boldly. The encouraging news for women is that these attributes can be acquired, much like negotiation skills or acing a job interview. Through trial and error, and a commitment to experimentation, we can master these skills over time. Professional growth is non-negotiable; we must strive to be our best selves, especially on our good days!
