Listen "She Believed in Me - Before I Did"
Episode Synopsis
Mentorship can transform careers, yet women in accounting often struggle to find female leaders to guide them - despite equal numbers entering the profession, only 19% of partners are women. Questian and Nancy explore how seeing someone who looks like you succeed makes your own success feel possible, sharing personal stories of mentors who believed in them before they believed in themselves. The hosts discuss both the psychology behind effective mentorship and practical ways to find mentors who align with your values, regardless of their age or position.SponsorsForwardly - https://www.forwardly.com/shecountsIgnition - https://www.ignitionapp.com Keeper - https://keeper.app/shecounts/(00:00) - Welcome to She Counts
