Challenges of Women Leaders in Male Dominated Industries

I think the challenges that we face as female leaders in a male dominated industry are that we aren't what you would expect the way we embrace our team and engage with our team is different so we expect a lot of vulnerability and we expect people to do a lot of self-reflection and growth and we look at the whole person so you don't have a work self and you don't have a personal self you have one person and we ask everyone to bring that to work and I think that that some of the men that are our counterparts it might unnerve them a little bit because it's so different and so that newness is something that people just aren't maybe comfortable with. Advice I would give to a female in a male dominated industry is you can do it when people say no it makes you push harder and makes you want to succeed and ensure that you are conquering those challenges.
