In Stefanie Marrone's Women Who Wow series, stage was asked how we are breaking barriers in the #legalmarketing field.

Jen: There’s a mantra that has stuck with me since I heard it while going through yoga teacher training, which is “how you do anything is how you do everything.” When we women consistently show up as who we are and what we believe in, we can break down barriers, even if it takes longer than we would like. I am a big believer in the power of numbers, so when we all band together with a sense of belief, empathy, support, opportunity, perseverance and desire to make sh*t happen, the sky’s the limit.

Megan: Launching stage, we joined the ranks of women-owned businesses, women co-founders and entrepreneurs. We are changing the script of business development and marketing through our co-sourced model, filling a gap in the market by providing extra resources, strategy and support where needed. We lead our clients with empathy, guiding them through a relationship-centered approach to developing revenue and maybe even having fun.

Kathleen: Through the founding of stage, we knocked down the barrier of occupational segregation for three women. We are using stage and our relationships to lift up other women facing similar challenges, including lack of access to land, capital, financial resources, technology and gender-based violence. All three of us donate to organizations dedicated to mitigating gun violence. We are conscious that we lack racial diversity and envision the composition of stage evolving as we grow. On a daily basis we amplify other womens’ voices on social media and in our hometowns.
