Encore release from 2020.
Cate Luzio spent over 15 years in corporate banking and during that time she observed a lot of women's careers stalling - not from a lack of desire to advance but from a lack of knowledge and resources to help them advance. As Cate learned to navigate networking, new skill development and speaking up for opportunities, others - both men and women - took notice and sought out her guidance. Before long Cate realized she had a desire to do more; to share what she knew with more women across many industries, not just banking. Enter her launch of Luminary, a collaboration hub for women-identified who are passionate about professional development and expanding their networks. Just over a year in and Luminary has recruited the support of major businesses including Unilever, WW (formally Weight Watchers), JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, to name a few.
In late February of 2020 I sat down with Cate in her New York location to chat all things women and career advancement. Some questions we tackled for this episode include: What are the building blocks for advancement? How can women help one another succeed? Why is it imperative women get comfortable raising their hand for new opportunities, even if they don't have the experience? And my personal favorite, why must women start talking openly about money?
In mid March of 2020, with the outbreak of COVID-19, Cate was forced to pivot Luminary to a fully virtual/digital hub. She and her team took the challenge head on and have excelled. If you're a woman looking for resources to help you grow your career, this podcast points you in the right direction. To learn more about Cate and Luminary, visit www.Luminary-NYC.com.
