In the 1950s, only around 33% of women were represented in the workforce. As the millennium rolled around that number increased to almost 60%. Today, we make up 45% of the global workforce, and 43% of revenue-producing roles. Yet we only represent a fraction of corporate leadership boards and executive positions.

They’re the ones that knew since they were little that they wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, artist, or scientist. Then, there are the rest of us.
We constantly hear dialogue about the importance of balance. We’re told to work to live, not live to work, and that we need adequate time away from work to keep burnout away. But, we should also devote ourselves to our careers in order to climb the corporate ladder.

There are many reasons that you choose certain careers. Perhaps the salary is your strongest motivator. It could be the lifestyle and prestige of a specific career field appeal to you. Or, maybe you want to make a difference and impact the lives of others.
