Happy WPW (Woman Power Wednesday). Let’s think about self-belief.
When I started writing to you each morning 14 years ago this month, I picked a theme for each weekday. Who could have imagined that I would end up with 1500 blog posts of this sort?
- Make it a great Monday
- Stay Whole Tuesday
- Woman Power Wednesday
- Make Anything Thursday
- Fit as a Fiddle Friday
Monday was always about attitude, Tuesday was about wholeness, Wednesday (today) was about self-belief, Thursday was about learning and growing, and Friday was about staying fit.
Last Wednesday, we sorted through some controversy. Who was The First Woman Power Wednesday? Was it your mum? Or was it award-winning sports columnist Christine Brennan, along with Belgium professional tennis star and three-time US Open Champion Kim Clijsters?
It really does not matter. But what does is how proud I am of each of you for growing into strong, confident, beautiful, ambitious women. You are succeeding in life and work as leaders and entrepreneurs. And, not surprisingly, you have all found partners who respect and celebrate diversity and inclusion. I am proud of those guys as well, and thrilled we make a pretty good golf four-ball!
I have told you often and will repeat it. One of my great joys is working for a company that understands this. At Autodesk, we don’t just talk about it; we do it with genuine authenticity. Just look at the type of women leaders we produce and the thousands of women who are mentored and cheered onward by these leaders.
Autodesk Women’s Network: Empowering women to develop and realize their full leadership potential
Our vision is for Autodesk to become the recognized model workplace for women. We believe leadership is more than a title, and anyone can demonstrate and develop leadership skills in any role, from intern to CEO.
Walk the talk. Self-belief. Woman Power!
