In honor of International Women's Day, we're starting this month with three female pioneers who are blazing trails in the world of internal communication. These pioneers share how their friendship played a key role in making bold professional moves, and how it all solidified with a bag of Cheetos and a little bit of gin.
With #ChoosetoChallenge being the theme for this year's International Women's Day, we like to quote their website, "A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change. So let's all choose to challenge." This week, you will learn how Advita Patel, Jenni Field, and Trudy Lewis have risen to the challenge to raise awareness against bias, and lead others to drive change. Get ready to rise to the challenge of share your genius to change the world.
