A challenge to the women of #PPAIWLC from best-selling author and Day 1’s closing keynote speaker Mila Grigg: “The personal brands of leaders and of everyone in the company can help lift the firm. And executive presence is a part of brand.” 👩🏽💼🧑🏿💼👩🏼💼🧑🏻💼 In the new media age, every social post you make and every Zoom call is an opportunity to prove you should be taken seriously - that you’re someone worth following. “Leadership is influence,” Mila says.
