Mentorship plays a critical role in advancing women in partnerships, both personally and professionally. A strong mentor doesn’t just offer advice—they help unlock new perspectives, open doors, and challenge you to think bigger. As women navigating the complexities of partnerships, the guidance from those who have been there can be a game-changer in overcoming obstacles, building influence, and driving impactful results. How are you leveraging mentorship in your partnerships journey? Whether you're seeking advice or offering it, mentorship is a two-way street that accelerates growth for both sides. Let’s be strategic in fostering these connections—because when women lift each other up, we all rise.

Self-care can feel like an overwhelming concept, but it doesn’t have to be. In her latest blog, Barbara Badelt Ford, one of the leaders of our Women in Partnership committee, gets real about what self-care means in today’s fast-paced world. She opens up about her personal journey—trying to force herself into routines that felt impossible—and how she ultimately found a self-care practice that truly works. Key takeaway: Self-care isn’t about expensive rituals or rigid routines. It’s about understanding your limits, setting boundaries, and, most importantly, practicing self-forgiveness. Read Barbara’s full blog for insights on simplifying your approach to self-care and why protecting your well-being benefits everyone around you. Blog here: https://lnkd.in/gtVMj4nX
