“I’m a strong believer in sharing my “imperfections”, because seeing people who are “like you” on the board is a powerful motivator for others. I’ve been affected by impostor syndrome at various points of my career, and I try to make sure everyone knows it’s not something that should stop you”. Sharon Thorne, Deloitte
Sharon is the Chair of the Deloitte Global Board of Directors. She is an advocate for collective action on environmental sustainability and climate change. Additionally, Sharon has long championed Deloitte’s ambition to achieve higher representation of women in leadership globally.
These female business leaders sure are inspiring. But we don’t have to look only to women CEOs for inspiration, because girl power awesomeness is all around us! We’d like to express our admiration and gratitude to Estafeta USA female coworkers and to women all over the world. Happy Women’s Day, you go girl!
