Nina Shaw and Aileen Lee on why women need allies at work:
“We have all been living on islands and now we’re a team,” said Aileen Lee about her Time’s Up sisters at the 2019 ForbesWomen Summit.
Shaw and Lee, who beat the odds and rose to the top of their male-dominated fields, joined Desiree Gruber, the founder and CEO of Full Picture, a public relations firm for a discussion on allyship.For both women, relationships are key. But how do they know who will support them? For Shaw, it’s all about holding on to the good people and letting everyone else go.
At All Raise, Lee’s nonprofit accelerator for female funders and founders, her team motivates other women through ambition rather than fear. “Making people feel bad for mistakes they’ve made in the past will not make them dig harder or faster,” said Lee. “Women are not going to solve our societal issues alone,” she said. She called on the women to partner with male colleagues to help change the status quo, by finding men who are empathetic and can be stronger allies.“Invite yourselves,” said Shaw. Despite being at the top of her industry, Shaw recalled several instances where a group of men got together for an industry event — they didn’t bother to call her.
