When we don’t see people who look like us in leade When we don’t see people who look like us in leadership roles, we unconsciously absorb the message that those positions aren’t for us. That’s why representation matters. That’s why mirrors matter. When I co-founded the Biotech CEO Sisterhood, it wasn’t just about networking. It was about creating a room where women could finally see themselves reflected in leadership—and realize: “I belong here too.” If you’re the only one in your boardroom, your C-suite, your industry—find your mirrors elsewhere.

Because when you see it, you can be it. And when you become it, you become a mirror for the next generation.

Mentors guide you. Sponsors advocate for you in rooms you’re not in yet. You need both. Build relationships with both intentionally. Who’s been a sponsor in your life?
