@GrantThornton How do we send the elevator back down for future women leaders? Jennifer Morelli wants us to make the "right change" not the "forced change" to meet diversity initiatives.

@GrantThornton How to do it: #Recruitment first and foremost! Getting women in roles all the way to the top.

@GrantThornton Then: #Prepare women to be #leaders - skills and opportunities. Be brave, not perfect!

@GrantThornton Don't just hand someone the oar, bring them into your boat and show them the ropes! #womeninleadership #support

@GrantThornton Struggling and feeling uncomfortable is a part of the process - support people through their failures and successes.

@GrantThornton Support each other by giving them access to your network, make their network as big as yours - "How big is your team?"

@GrantThornton Progress towards #genderparity is happening, but we need to be making sure we have future women leaders to really change company culture in 5 or 10 years. #TeVE #TeVirtualEvents

@GrantThornton Give #constructivefeedback and put the time in to #coach and #mentor young women professionals. Let them know perfection isn't the goal, growth is.

@GrantThornton Sometimes your direct boss isn't the right one to approach for #upwardmobility - how can you build your network outside of your team? Target sponsorship from higher levels in your organization. #growyourteam

@GrantThornton If you feel you're ready, challenge others around you for honest feedback about why it's not happening. Is it a #glassceiling or a #concreteceiling?

@GrantThornton As women, we need to be truly self-aware of how others perceive us - right or wrong. Be yourself, but understand your environment.

@GrantThornton Make your #goals and #priorities known - if you don't put it out there, no one can help you reach them! #tellyourstory #promoteyourself #askforit #careerdevelopment #TeVirtualEvents

@GrantThornton Best leadership advice - "act like it." Gain the confidence to know you can #figureitout.

@GrantThornton Seek out like-minded, high achieving women who will help you get to where you want.

@GrantThornton Thank you Jeniffer Morelli for this amazing #TeVirtualEvent! Feeling so inspired to build up #womeninleadership. For future #iwil events, check our #TeVE calendar here: bit.ly/teve-cal
