There's nothing worse for a mentor than being asked generic questions that anyone could answer. They want to ensure that their time is having an impact on you.
A lot of the magic that is behind success can be unlocked through mentorships. Mentorships are a fundamental part of the success equation.
Taking care of myself used to be at the bottom of my list, but I'm all about wellness.
Trust your instinct. And if you can't tell what your instinct is telling you, learn how to peel back the noise in your life that is keeping you from hearing it.
An interview is about mutual selection.
I want every single millennial woman to feel like Levo has improved their lives.
The fact that millennials are fast at communication and expect transparency and don't feel comfortable with hierarchy gets interpreted as us being impatient or entitled. These traits are perfectly normal given that we're the first digital natives.
We are very committed to highlighting women succeeding in entrepreneurship or technology.
Having women who are already successful take the leap of faith to help younger women is critical.
From a professional standpoint, our transformation of the labor landscape at scale through technology with Levo is the highest and best direction of my energy.
I live my life as an entrepreneur in every possible way I can by applying the question 'What can be done better and how?' at every juncture.
Power is the agency to effect change, pure and simple. The more power you have, the clearer and less frictional the trajectory from an idea in your mind to its birth in real life.
We cannot solve the STEM gender gap without solving it for millennials. They're our first digital natives, and they're willing to learn quickly.
What matters about people is their magnetic leadership, their aptitude for helping those following in their footsteps, and their passion - how they choose to package that is their prerogative.
I was told by people who wanted to 'help' me that, although I had checked the box on the skills they wanted to see in the quarterly evaluation, they thought that I might want to cut my long hair so that I looked less young.
By saying that leaders - male or female - have to look or act a certain way to be respected as role models, we are not only hurting those individuals but also reinforcing rigid benchmarks for the next generation of passionate, aspiring leaders, who are watching.
The interview is not over when the meeting is over. Never forget that.
Create a list of your intentions for your work. Then research available internships and/or companies that you are attracted to based on that personal North Star. Once that is clear, you begin outreach to people connected to industries you're passionate and/or curious about.
Look at an interview as an organic part of building a relationship.
Our members are constantly telling us that the guidance they received from Levo's mentors has helped them negotiate a raise, ask for more responsibility, build their resume, and more.
