This founder creates ‘playbooks’ for women who want to advance their careers—here’s her best advice (via CNBCMakeIt)
That's why Lisa Skeete Tatum, the founder and CEO of Landit, is dedicated to increasing the success of women and diverse groups in the workplace and assisting companies in retaining talented employees from diverse backgrounds. The entrepreneur and ex-venture capitalist uses her extensive knowledge on navigating a career path to create personalized "playbooks" for other women seeking to elevate their careers.
"I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for people who believed in me… who saw something in me and took a chance, who helped me see things I didn't even know were possible," she tells CNBC Make It. "I come from a long line of trailblazers and people committed to making things happen for others. And it was my mother who said 'you can go out there and make that company.
Another hurdle that Tatum thinks is "difficult for every founder" is hiring the right talent. She says that, for founders of color, staying true to your vision is critical.
