Ep #228: How Young Girls Are Changing the Future of LeadershipIf we want to reshape the leadership landscape, we must begin with our young girls. That's why this episode of Women Changing Leadership is dedicated to my daughter, Elizabeth, and all the young girls out there who are learning to use their voices, push boundaries, and discover their full potential. It's for the little girls we raise at home – and for the vibrant young spirit that still lives inside each of us. In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I'll share how we can continue to nurture and support the brilliant young girls in our lives. I'll share specific exercises that are helping my daughter and her peers find their voices and build resilience, so they can step into their power with confidence and grace. And I'll also dive into the Why We Lead report and what it revealed about the unique and powerful ways that girls are redefining leadership for themselves.

While most high school graduates spend the summer hanging out with friends or working at local amusement parks, Danielle Conkling was interning in downtown San Francisco with the PR and events team at Robertson Stephens. And she's been working in the banking industry ever since.Danielle is the director of corporate social responsibility and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and serves as the ESG program lead for Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). Her unique role at SVB combines her passion for giving back to the community with her extensive experience in advising entrepreneurs and leaders in the innovation economy. Based in Menlo Park, California, her leadership of ESG efforts advances the sustainability and ethical impact of the company's investments and operations. Giving back both on and off the job, Danielle is a regional board advisory member of BUILD, which provides entrepreneurial experience to young people in under-resourced communities, and of Girls Leadership, a nonprofit organization whose workshops and training programs equip young girls to develop the power of their voices. She chats with host Scott Gale ‘19 discuss her start in the world of finance and banking, getting acclimated to Houston and its weather as an out-of-towner, the future of ESG, and her travels with her family. Read more about how Rice Business ranks #6 for best MBA for finance (Princeton Review).Episode Quotes:Reducing costs and creating efficiencies through ESG investments 31:21 - The investments in ESG actually allow companies to also reduce costs and create efficiencies over time. But again, that takes time. And a lot of it's new. So, there's that time that you need to kind of build it and then roll out and implement a lot of this work. And then, to realize the benefits also takes time. You know, I think most companies are just beginning that work right now. On what she really learned at Rice15:37 - I learned a lot about how to think and how to develop leadership skills and strategies in business beyond the more tactical work that you do. I realized that so much of the MBA program for me was really learning from my friends and my professors.Maintaining friendships with cohort for years after leaving14:56 - When we graduated, having those relationships where we all went off and reconnecting, how many years later and still having that commonality and that relationship to one another, and really those memories is, I think it's really special. For me, that's really what I got out of it.On being pregnant in the final months of her program18:58 -  I was able to graduate. And my son, who's now 13 and a half, was able to be there for my Rice graduation. I don't know if that makes him like an honorary owl or something, but he was in my belly and my classmates and my professors were so amazing about the whole thing.Show Links:Guest Profile:Danielle Conkling on LinkedIn

“When our girls are growing up in a culture that rewards them for being complicit and agreeable, to ask them to be powerful and to use their voice can mean getting in trouble, getting a bad grade, or losing friends. There are consequences to learning to be powerful, especially as you're growing up.” – Simone Marean Learning to use your voice to speak up for yourself is a muscle. Simone Marean, co-founder and co-CEO of Girls Leadership, believes that if you teach girls the social, emotional skills to assert themselves early in life, that muscle will be stronger as they grow up. Simone joined Aine for an empowering discussion on the emotional benefits of training girls to use their voice to advocate for themselves and others.

 Truth be told, conflict done well builds the greatest intimacy and trust within relationships. But who likes conflict? Lawyers and... hmmm....? Most avoid conflict due to time, their experiences in their family-of-origin, the differences in hardwiring, and lack of modeling. Many of us have a false idea that having no conflict is a good thing when actually it means we are not getting beneath the surface or learning through practice. Others like the energy of the debate but lack tools to bring a healthy resolve. Join Terra, Beth & Steph as we have a candid conversation around navigating conflict well. When we lean in, we risk building healthier relationships with our spouses, our children, our friends, colleagues, courageous girls groups, and more.  Terra has been a licensed marriage and family therapist helping thousands navigate conflict for years. She is joined by her friends and Courageous Girls colleagues, Beth and Steph, who together are helping hundreds of women and their daughters navigate the variety of conflict that arises through the journey of childhood, adolescents, and into being a woman. If you want more on the topic of conflict, then consider partnering with Courageous Girls as a CG Supporter and get exclusive content, like part 2 of this dialogue!

In this episode, Sara explores the pressures pre-teens face to fit in - the social pressures and gender norms that impact today's pre-teens. We hear about the pressures on girls, boys, and the compelling story of a transgender pre-teen navigating b’nai mitzvah party culture.     "The parties are also a kind of performance. Pre-teens are pretending to be a little bit older and more mature than they are. The coat closet. Place for experimentation and risk taking. It is an exciting moment for kids to think about a more adult side of themselves. What is it about b'nai mitzvah? I can't be the only slutty girl in the coat closet." - Rachel Simmons "Most pre-teens want to belong - to have a group of friends to share good times with. Social status. Social ladder. Working to be at or near top. Some at twelve or thirteen have already given up and recognize that they'll be towards the bottom." - Andrew Smiler Featured voices: Rachel Simmons is the author of the bestsellers Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls and The Curse of the Good Girl: Raising Girls with Courage and Confidence and the co-founder of Girls Leadership. Andrew Smiler, PhD is a developmental psychologist and the author of the award-winning Dating and Sex: A Guide for the 21st Century Teen Boy.

Girls Leadership Co-Founder and Executive Director Simone Marean   One of the traits I most admire in someone is resiliency. I really got to thinking about it as a woman and as a mom after I took a workshop called Raising Resilient Girls from Girls Leadership co-founder and Executive Director Simone Marean. She was kind enough to make time to talk with me about how social media is working positively for girls (say what?!), why it's time to retire the term "mean girls," and why the princess phase doesn't mean the end of feminism as we know it.

Hair extension goddess and doting mother Monique Hale Monique Hale is not what you think. Unless you think she's a total badass wife, mother,and queen of a hair empire built on extensions. Monique gave me her vulnerable story about coming back from addiction to create the family she never had growing up, and a business she was born to dominate.
