Where can I find another woman to mentor me/give business advice outside my company? I’m dealing with some tough situations at work and I think part of it is due to my gender and age.

Boss: I need you to stop challenging me on every decision.

Me: I don’t want us to have a confrontational relationship and I think we can agree something needs to change.

I think to be an authentic leader I need to be radically candid with you and point our your mistakes. So are you willing to work with me on this?
