Startups with female founders get less funding but generate more revenue.
More evidence that investing in women isn't just the right thing to do—it's the smart thing to do.

After they're given terrible ideas to consider, brainstorming groups become more creative.
A bad solution can point the way to a good one—and even if it doesn't, it can create the psychological safety to explore unconventional ideas.

The more superior you think your beliefs are, the more you overestimate your knowledge—and the more you fall victim to confirmation bias.

Having a #GrowthMindset is becoming super important for companies to adopt. It’s a great way to discover hidden talent within your organization and find #LeadershipPotential in employees you may not have normally considered. #ThursdayThoughts https://t.co/XAbR7X18cs

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The best problem-solving teams are cognitively diverse and psychologically safe. A variety of thinking styles—coupled with the freedom to take risks without being punished—enables groups to generate, test, and implement creative ideas. https://t.co/vPlGRDEPUn

The most powerful step for building trust is self-disclosure: sharing something personal and vulnerable.
Tell your origin story: a defining moment that made you who you are.

Had a great time at the Women of Silicon Valley Conference. My favorite advice today came from @katelin_cruse - Set up a folder on your computer for all your "love notes" or success moments to use in the future when you need to advocate for yourself. Love that! #WinTechSeries

[Stacy Wakefield @smwakefield]

@uxlauren1 @dara_johnson Loved this part too!

[Stacy Wakefield @smwakefield]

Really appreciate this perspective from @hutchamachutch “Don’t try to fit yourself into some else’s round hold and don’t be afraid to break the rules bc those rules are not necessarily designed in your favor.” #WinTechSeries

[Stacy Wakefield @smwakefield]

Great advice from @jenntacheff from @WomenWhoCode “If you want to be a more courageous leader be more curious about what you don’t know” #askquestions #WinTechSeries

[Stacy Wakefield @smwakefield]

Think like a #startup: Lessons for #womenintech with @dara_johnson “Ask yourself, how are you #marketing yourself to your killer team because they will become your advocates” #WinTechSeries

[Stacy Wakefield @smwakefield]

Loved the humor and #audacity from @WendyMPfeiffer “If you want to be successful as a technical female then you need to get rid of the notion that you need to be Mother Teresa, you can be BAD, but you can be kindhearted, sensitive, feminine, studios and merciful” #WinTechSeries

[Stacy Wakefield @smwakefield]

“The third wave of feminism is now when women say, we don’t just want to be at the top of the world, we want to change the world bc it’s not working for women, it’s not working for men and it’s not working for polar bears” @ariannahuff #WinTechSeries #WednesdayWisdom

[Stacy Wakefield @smwakefield]

Listing to the great @ariannahuff “Culture is key, if a culture is toxic it is going to effect the bottom line. When a culture is driven by burnout people act out and when men act out women pay the price.” #WinTechSeries #womenintech #leadership
