Female leaders lead to success

Business growth requires a diversity of perspectives. Changing culture is, however, very difficult. It is important that women speak up about diversity issues and advocate for change.

Representation is the issue

In highlighting how little money is spent on female-founded companies, Tran emphasises how representation is a very critical issue. The journey of female founders should be supported more and legislation changes can help along this road.

Women support women

You need to build your own personal board and strong relationships with other women in your industry to thrive in your career.

Next generation's leaders

Be ready to start uncomfortable discussions around diversity issues in your company to support and lead the younger generation.

A piece of advice

Tran talks about two pieces of advice in this part of the interview: "Don't be shy" and "Build your network".
