"We don't think about making women fit the world — we think about making the world fit women."
"We don't think about making women fit the world — we think about making the world fit women." As we wrap up Women's History Month, I'd be remiss if I didn't recognize our history making leaders.
They are mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, partners, and ass-kickers. They are leaders, directors, entrepreneurs, anchors, reporters, television hosts. They exceed the expectations of our Advisory Board and our Clients, individually and collectively, every single day.
When I started to recruit Advisors and Mentors to help build TalentBlvd, it was evident that the Broadcast Media industry was in the midst of extreme disruption, even more so today. There were tremendous opportunities for improvement in terms of talent acquisition, compensation, work conditions, etc.
We recruited a team of mission oriented professionals that had the insight, grit, and perseverance to take on the challenges of broadcast news talent development and acquisition. Turns out this team reflects the industry and is largely composed of women.
NOTE: The composition of graduating classes in today's journalism schools can approach 65% to 75% female. Look around, how does your organization reflect the future industry and audience demographics?
These TalentBlvd leaders have inspired and directed the development of the TalentBlvd.com platform. Today we are making history by changing the way early-career journalists develop skills, network with industry leaders, and find the next rewarding role in their career. They are legend.
Strong women develop other strong women and the future looks very bright at TalentBlvd. Two of the young journalists in our program will be spotlighted tomorrow in our weekly talent feature. They are the next generation of broadcast and steaming rock stars. We are excited to share the talent and accomplishments of Morgan and Cierra with you.
A Spanish explorer once said that to leave the Old World, you must follow the sun. These women are the sun in an industry that many days perpetuates the ways of the Old World.
