  • Women can go to the site and begin designing their playbook with “To-Do” items, tracking weekly accomplishments, building a personal brand, searching for advisers and coaches, and taking advantage of career-boosting services. “Our goal is to knit all that together and essentially path you because it is overwhelming. Woman want the relevant information in their busy lives that [they] can action on,” Skeete Tatum noted. She also added that women need to build a “Board” of coaches, mentors and sponsors to guide them through career choices. She described coaches as high-power experts that provide insight and recognize patterns that move people forward; mentors as individuals who influence and help examine idead; and sponsors as the door openers and network builders.
