Finding a space where women can be women is tough in a predominantly male-dominated industry, and the financial services field is not an exception. 

Thankfully, Sheryl Hickerson, the founder and CEO of Females and Finance, values the empowerment of being in a room with females on the same path.

And that’s exactly why Sheryl started Females and Finance. A private online membership organization for women to support the hiring, mentoring, training, and advancement of 100,000 females in financial services.

This week, Sheryl unveils her experience within the financial industry and the ways she evolved her style to cater to other females in similar roles. She explains the role of competitiveness within the female financial industry and her approach to helping female professionals in the business.
