Tonya Lagrasta is the head of ESG for Colliers Real Estate Management Services in Canada.
Can’t do it? Neither can I. I confess that, like a lot of women with busy careers and growing families, I can’t maintain work-life balance. I use technology to stay organized and I make efficient use of time by doing things like scheduling calls – where I can just talk and listen – when I’m in the car.
I was reporting into a senior leader at the time – also a working mother – whose sponsorship helped advance my career. She was quick to call me out: “You just had a baby. Stop working.” I remember saying to her, “I’m just sitting here, watching her. There’s nothing I can do for her and there’s so much I need to finish.” But she wasn’t having it, and she was right.
They also need leaders willing to be sponsors for high-performing women, not only to help drive their careers but also to offer support and firm advice when these up-and-comers hit a roadblock or experience a significant life change.
