I would tell women, ‘Be aware of your gender, but don’t think about your gender.’ We all know our gender can affect perceptions, influence inter-actions with people, and overall can be a factor in the business world. But as long as you focus on why you are the best, or your product, service, or company is the best, you’re going to be successful.
