A round-table discussion moderated by Rose Marie Bravo, and including Tracey Travis as a key panelist, explores the challenges facing women in corporate executive positions, notably referred to as the C-Suite. In the article, the women touch upon the importance of having a vision from a young age and how necessary it is to take risks. They acknowledge that women can only continue to contribute to leading industries if they are at the forefront of decision making, and that the strides women have made in recent years are a result of being included in business and developmental processes from the start.
In reflecting upon the powerful “Mrs. Lauder was Here” anecdote from the company's corporate archives, Aerin Lauder shares her thoughts on how receptive her grandmother, Mrs. Estée Lauder, would have been to the digital age of social media. Mrs. Estée Lauder was not afraid of change. She embraced it as an opportunity for growth and beauty.
