“While women representation in leadership positions has made modest progress in recent years, there is still a long way to go before parity is reached. This is especially true for women of color. This underrepresentation also means there is a lack of visible role models, sponsors and advocates to champion women for professional growth. Another challenge today is the unconscious bias in hiring, promotions and advancement opportunities.”

Who is a female athlete you admire and why? Simone Biles is a female athlete who I admire for her tenacity and leadership. At what can be argued was the height of her career, she made the difficult decision to withdraw from competition for her own well-being. Her self-awareness and willingness to show vulnerability required inner strength given the expectations of her. Instead of retiring, she demonstrated resilience and determination by returning to her sport to compete at the highest level — and at unmatched difficulty in her skills. And more importantly, she exhibited leadership by showing empathy and support for her teammates.
