How to Be Taken Seriously | That’s a Good Question (Replay)

PROBLEM: How do I manage being a young woman in a director level role? I find that it can be challenging in getting folks to take me seriously. I run a department of three offices with multiple full-time staff and oversee a critical area of compliance. While I don't want to completely change how I engage with others, or how I present myself, I'd like to know if there are things I can do differently to minimize this issue.
