Women only networking. Why is it a thing in 2025? Here’s one angle… I grew up in the 90’s. Us girls were taught that there wasn’t room for all of us. And if you were successful you were a bitch, or too much, or just, well, skinny and lucky! 😒 If that’s the message, you start to believe it and carry that feeling through into adult life. Yet, something doesn’t sit right…All this competition. Why are the boys doing more? Having more fun? With more camaraderie? And then you realise that it’s not real 😱 All this competitiveness. This narrative that there’s not room for us all. That to be successful you have to hate on your peers. It’s a lot to unlearn. And we need space to do that. To have fun. To form bonds. To realise friendships. To grow in confidence. To do business together! ❌ It’s not to deliberately exclude men. Contrary to the belief of some! In fact, at this particular property networking event, #hardhatstoheels I attended not too long ago, great men are invited (there are regular male visitor speakers) 😁 But great men already know all the above anyway, don’t you 👌👌👌 Thank you to Lucille Moore for the 👏👏👏 photography!!
