Very well said. I have read many posts touching on the increasingly important topic of women supporting women...yours stands out. You speak in realistic terms, keying in on competition's pitfalls, while providing action steps one can undertake to better the situation. As a human being first and the father of a daughter second, the importance of women supporting women, in a male dominated world, cannot be overstated. I hope your COVID passes quickly.

So, so good Heather! You have such a gift of putting words to what so many women feel. I just texted some friends because of this article, trying to do my small part. :) Feel better and know you are appreciated!

Thank you for this. Having worked in both male-dominated and female-dominated fields, I wish I had read something like this when I was younger and again at various stages of my life. I'd add avoid participating in gossip, rumors, and critiques of female colleagues and acquaintances -- being part of the "whispering." I am on day 5 of Paxlovid with my first case of COVID; hope your recovery is as swift as mine has been!

Yes. When I was a young attorney, I wish I removed myself from those conversations about other women, even if I didn’t have the confidence to stand up for them yet. It’s such a good point. Thank you for reading and I hope you’re on the mend too. Mine’s a slow burn!
