In this conversation, Jane shares her insights on how women can navigate career advancement while staying true to themselves. She discusses the importance of self-advocacy, the subtle but real barriers women face in male-dominated industries, and the strategies that help women not just survive, but thrive. Drawing from both research and personal experience, she explains why confidence is often underestimated yet critical, and how women can build it intentionally over time.

We also explore the lessons from Her Success Blueprint, including how to set boundaries, find mentors, and challenge outdated stereotypes. Jane emphasizes that women don’t need to “fix themselves” to succeed—they need to recognize and leverage the strengths they already bring to the table. Her message is both practical and encouraging: success is possible without compromise when you own your value and lead with authenticity.
