The Summit<\/strong><\/p>\n The\u00a0United Way Women\u2019s Summit\u00a0will be\u00a0a catalyzing force for formidable change. The\u00a0event\u2019s\u00a0aim is to\u00a0mobilize women\u00a0as change-makers\u00a0and expand our impact as we\u00a0discuss what matters\u00a0most\u00a0and how to create environments where women can thrive. The summit is an opportunity for businesses and the\u00a0Los Angeles\u00a0community\u00a0to facilitate environments where women can make valuable contributions.<\/p>\n The role of business<\/strong><\/p>\n There are real\u00a0and wide-ranging\u00a0incentives for companies to support women.\u00a0When women thrive,\u00a0families\u00a0and communities\u00a0thrive,\u00a0businesses thrive\u00a0and nations thrive. This\u00a0is\u00a0why\u00a0ArchTam includes women at\u00a0the highest levels\u00a0of decision-making\u00a0and why ArchTam is sponsoring the\u00a0United Way Women\u2019s Summit.\u00a0From\u00a0working on award-winning infrastructure and development\u00a0projects to\u00a0volunteering\u00a0for\u00a0community development and more, ArchTam\u2019s\u00a0women are integral to the company delivering\u00a0a better world.\u00a0Our understanding of\u00a0the impact\u00a0that\u00a0women\u00a0make\u00a0is precisely why\u00a0we are committed to placing more women in leadership roles\u00a0within our company.\u00a0At ArchTam, women get more than just a seat\u00a0at the table; they are encouraged to take\u00a0an active role in leading and driving business decisions.<\/p>\n How to lead<\/strong><\/p>\n As I reflect on my\u00a0own\u00a0career, my advice to women\u00a0leaders is\u00a0to lead\u00a0with authenticity and confidence. It is important to be feminine, to be women as we lead. Trust\u00a0your\u00a0own abilities and recognize\u00a0your\u00a0capacity to lead\u00a0in dynamic and transformative ways.\u00a0Develop your personal brand by\u00a0continuously\u00a0seeking\u00a0opportunities that challenge you.\u00a0Throughout my career,\u00a0I continually made\u00a0myself available to take on new opportunities,\u00a0and this has been instrumental to my\u00a0growth\u00a0and skills\u00a0development.<\/p>\n You also have a responsibility to\u00a0the\u00a0people you lead.\u00a0They depend on you to make the right decisions,\u00a0so hire the best people,\u00a0trust their abilities and give them as many opportunities as possible.\u00a0I\u00a0will\u00a0always\u00a0remember\u00a0the\u00a0people who trusted me\u00a0early\u00a0in my\u00a0career \u2014 I\u00a0believe that\u00a0their trust, as well as our experiences as a team (both successes and failures), have been instrumental to my growth.<\/p>\n You\u00a0must\u00a0also be\u00a0prepared and\u00a0proactive. Anticipate change and seek new, better ways to work. But most importantly, always\u00a0remain human. The\u00a0best leaders show their personalities and humility,\u00a0they have fun and they are \u201creal.\u201d<\/p>\n At this incredibly important summit,\u00a0and as you learn from and immerse yourself in the rich\u00a0stories you will hear, remember:\u00a0you\u00a0can lead and when you\u00a0do,\u00a0lead\u00a0boldly.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As more women\u00a0rise through the ranks of the corporate world, the\u00a0much-desired\u00a0\u201cseat at the table\u201d\u00a0is becoming a more reachable goal.\u00a0While there is\u00a0still much progress to be made, the\u00a0fact that women are present in rooms where the\u00a0most difficult\u00a0decisions are\u00a0being made\u00a0is an opportunity for us to use our voices\u00a0to\u00a0shape\u00a0lasting\u00a0outcomes.
