Mobilizing Women’s Influence – Paula Noble Fellingham

“People care about the diversity because diversity makes teams stronger. And, and this is research based. And so they can say what they want, but those who know that there is strength in diversity, they’ll continue on in spite of the, you know, the outcry on the other end….There’s research that shows that when the lives of billions of women are improved, here’s what happens. Number one, there’s better female leadership. Number two, there’s stronger education and more equality with women and girls. There’s healthier national economies. There’s research. …There’s stronger families and my friends, there’s greater peace.” Paula Noble Fellingham on Electric Ladies Podcast

“Kick up your ask, because so many women need to be more confident and they need to ask for the promotion. However, they need to be qualified for the promotion…. (S)ay, ‘this is what I’ve done in the last year. This is the how I’ve helped the ROI of this company. This is what I can do in the future,’ and have it written and say it in a way, and this is so important. Say it in a way that doesn’t create an adversarial relationship, but invites them. So here’s a beautiful way to say it. I invite you to consider the possibility of this because I am qualified…I am qualified because of the things I’ve done, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the things I know I can do, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to help this company move forward.” Paula Fellingham on Electric Ladies Podcast
