Thank you to the Leadership Story Lab for inviting me to contribute my perspective to their blog. I wrote about — you guessed it! — the importance of telling women's stories. 

There's a lot of talk these days about making sure women are better represented in media. But what about representing women's stories from the past? Learn about a fascinating project that's publishing women's obituaries years after they died. 

If you have outdated or misleading photos of yourself hanging out on your website or online profiles, think about updating them. Show the world what you really look like — and who you really are.

Join a Wikipedia edit-a-thon to help elevate women's stories online.

Why being known beyond the company you currently work for is the key to your power — and why telling your story is the key to being known. 

The women who were honored used their speeches to address the importance of telling women's stories. Righteous.

There's a gaping hole in pop culture that is hungry to be filled with women's stories.

Yes, telling your story can and will help you achieve your career and financial goals. But that's not the only reason you should tell your story.  You should tell your story because it matters. And because the world needs more women's stories. 

Oddly enough, in worrying that by promoting ourselves, we're asking for too much attention, we do just that: We make it about us, instead of all the people we could lift up by sharing what we offer.
