Have you ever wondered what sets high achieving, trailblazing women apart and on the path to the c-suite?

There is no doubt that if we you take a look inside your company, you will undoubtedly find women who are strong performers and can deliver results. Who have the necessary skills to lead the company at the executive level. However many lack access to these opportunities because of two critical things: mentors and sponsors.

Mentors and, most notably for women, sponsors have the power to help advance your career exponentially. Many women’s leap in leadership would not have been possible if it had not been for a sponsor who actively championed for their appointment.

It’s not easy to find a sponsor, that I can attest. It requires that you build strong relationships with the leaders in your organization, that you perform and that you earn their trust.

My guest on this episode is Tania Clarke, CFO of Imvescor Restaurant Group Inc., a franchise and licensing business in the family and casual dining restaurant industry. If you want to know how what it takes to advance into the c-suite, watch this episode.

Tania and I also talk about:

  • The important skills women need to master to get ahead
  • Balancing family and career on the executive path
  • The challenges of being a female CFO in Montreal

Now we’d like to hear from you.

To your deserving success and happiness,
