Back to episode 2 of our ‘Back-to-School’ series. This time it’s with long-time supporter, Jason Schulweis of The Female Quotient. Jason introduced us to Phil Schermer at Project Healthy Minds.

A little bit about The Female Quotient: The Female Quotient (The FQ) is a woman-owned business dedicated to achieving gender equality in the workplace and beyond.

  • Their intersectional and inclusive approach brings together conscious leaders and rising stars across industries worldwide.

  • The Female Quotient is a non-profit organization with a mission to advance gender equality in the workplace and close the pay gap.

  • The Female Quotient provides executive advisory and board advisory work to help companies create a more equitable workplace.

During our conversation, Jason shares his insights on how to build a successful career by connecting the dots. He believes that it is important to be comfortable collecting dots, which are people, experiences, and skills that you acquire along the way. Once you have collected enough dots, you can start to connect them in different ways and see how they can help you move forward in your career.
