@AnthemBCBS PLEASE HELP. Every time I try to log into my account, I get a "bad request" error. When I try to reach you by phone, I'm told that you're not answering phones any more and to reach you by chat. But to reach you by chat, I need to log in. HELP

It’s our last question for the #WomenInBusiness chat! Time to look towards the future.

[Romy Newman @RomyNYC]

The sad truth is that most workplaces were built by & for men. They are evolving, but if we want to make radical progress towards gender equality, we need to ensure that workplaces are not systematically disadvantaging women—intentionally or inadvertently. #WomenInBusiness

[Life at AT&T @LifeAtATT]

It’s question seven, we’re all in this one together! #WomenInBusiness

[Romy Newman @RomyNYC]

I am so grateful for the many mentors that have helped me along the way 💜 I wouldn't be where I am today without the extra time my managers spent on me at the @WSJ and @EsteeLauder! #WomenInBusiness

[Life at AT&T @LifeAtATT]

No one leader is an island, that’s why we’re excited to hear your stories with question six! #WomenInBusiness

[Romy Newman @RomyNYC]

Work-life balance is all about ruthless prioritization. Time is our most valuable commodity—and every minute of every day we have to make sure we are spending it best. #WomenInBusiness

[Life at AT&T @LifeAtATT]

Question five is a bit of a balancing act, how do you wear your many hats? #WomenInBusiness

[Romy Newman @RomyNYC]

@TheAnneChow Great advice @TheAnneChow!

[Romy Newman @RomyNYC]

I believe that career paths are—and should be—fluid. I honestly can’t say that I’m one of those people that plotted out a strategic path to get to where I am today at @Fairygodboss. I believe in more of a trial-and-error approach. #WomenInBusiness

[Life at AT&T @LifeAtATT]

Inspiration can come from unexpected places, why not share yours for question four? #WomenInBusiness

[Romy Newman @RomyNYC]

#WomenInBusiness need to think about being their own publicist. Figure out your elevator pitch and then practice giving it - fearlessly 🦸‍♀️ In fact, we can start right now if you want! What are you good at? Reply and let me know 🗨️

[Life at AT&T @LifeAtATT]

It’s time to get tactical with question three. #WomenInBusiness

[Romy Newman @RomyNYC]

One of the most important lessons I've learned in my career, and something I learned early on at @Fairygodboss, is how to manage rejection. You have to understand that professional rejection or setbacks are not personal. #WomenInBusiness

[Life at AT&T @LifeAtATT]

Class is in session for question number two! #WomenInBusiness

[Romy Newman @RomyNYC]

For reasons I can’t explain, I feel like I’m often underestimated 👎 In past work situations, I’ve had to work twice as hard to demonstrate my abilities vs. people taking my abilities at face value. I think that's pretty common for all #WomenInBusiness. Can you relate?

[Life at AT&T @LifeAtATT]

Get ready, it’s time for the first question in our #WomenInBusiness Chat!

[Romy Newman @RomyNYC]

Happy New Year! Some great advice to kick off the new year: # # # https://t.co/ZECUCANkI5

What happened in Pittsburgh is both tragic and senseless. We cannot look away. We must respect differences and remember that what we have in common is so much more important.
