What are the top areas for development courses you would suggest to invest in? I do want to create visibility for myself and equip myself for future growth. What are the top things you consider investing in for yourselves?

Hi Boss Ladies!
I’m 32, and on the fast track to senior leadership positions w/in Investment/Finance industry.

I became a mom and four months down, head of new business (guy) in my company and the HR (lady) interviewed me for an exec leadership role. Obviously I was excited for the interview but…. the interview went well with the guy and I felt the role was made for me. However, the lady kept bringing back the topic that ‘I am a mom and need to focus on my family’ again and again and again. Honestly it was unnerving. The feedback I received from HR (lady) was we felt you won’t be able <cont. in comments>
