Start your week off right with IAW’s Inspiration Monday! Sometimes being a leader is tough. Especially for women as we make up less than 50% of leadership positions across 20 countries and even more so for women of color who make up 13% of C-suite roles in the United States. If you are fighting the odds, struggling through a tough project, or simply need a boost of confidence, then listen to the advice of these powerful women leaders.
