Hannah Hammond (speaker) recounts personal experiences of gender bias in a male-dominated industry: being underestimated, stereotyped as a 'dumb blonde/girl,' ignored (unreturned calls/emails), and assumed to have inherited clients/portfolios. She advises that consistent performance—showing proof through actions and measurable results—builds a reputation and ultimately earns professional respect.

Chapters

People always ask me what it's like to be a female in a male dominated industry. You get used to men looking down on you, acting like you don't know anything. People assume that you are some dumb blonde or dumb girl that doesn't know what they're talking about. People not responding to your calls or emails because they don't take you seriously. You get used to people assuming that you were handed down a big portfolio of real estate or a book of business and that you didn't do any work. But as you build your reputation, you show them proof in your actions and your results. Then you'll start to earn your respect in the business and prove them all wrong.
