Shownotes

Have you ever felt like you were in competition with other women? 

In this episode, Diane Rolston talks about how that feeling is normal, but we should connect and collaborate over competing.

Here are some of the key takeaways:

  • Learn why women are stronger together and why the competition mindset holds women back
  • Understand why competition between women is common but counterproductive, and how a scarcity mindset leads women to compete for limited opportunities
  • Learn about the "musical chairs" analogy where women fight for the few "pink chairs" instead of claiming space in all available positions
  • Discover why collaboration and connection are more effective strategies than competition
  • Understand how outdated systems and limiting beliefs are the true barriers to women's success in business and leadership
  • Learn practical ways to build powerful networks
  • Discover multiple collaboration strategies that can expand your reach and opportunities
  • Hear a personal story about choosing collaboration over competition that benefited both parties and helped them advance together
  • Learn actionable steps to connect with other women professionals, even when it feels uncomfortable, and how these connections can lead to unexpected opportunities
