It’s almost time to turn the page on 2022 and begin a new year! You might already be thinking about setting personal and professional goals for 2023, and are searching for leadership and/or career advice from top thought leaders. That’s why we at Women in Retail Leadership Circle (WIRLC) are happy to announce our newest report, Top 50 Tips of 2022!

This comprehensive collection of the best tips that appeared on the WIRLC website this year is an easy-to-read report for quick inspiration. These tips offer valuable insight that you can implement immediately, and cover everything from how to attract the right talent to best practices for negotiation to how to digitize the supply chain. We gathered tips focused on WIRLC’s four key content pillars: executive leadership; professional development; business strategy; and entrepreneurship.

Contributed by female career coaches, retail execs, industry analysts, WIRLC members and more, these 50 tips are uniquely tailored to specifically help women leaders in the retail industry. Here are a few of my favorites:

Think About Who You Surround Yourself With
“Surround yourself with a strong team. I learned that early on in my career. You’re only as good as the people that work for you. Build and nurture relationships — this is a people business.” — Jill Spiegel, Chief Merchandising Officer, PGA TOUR Superstore

Ask Questions to Grow as a Leader
“Learn to ask probing questions. As a young leader, I thought leadership was giving direction. As I matured in my leadership, I learned what a gem self-discovery was and learned to ask questions — good, probing questions. This was so important to me that I’ve made it a major focus as I coach my leaders.” — Nina Love, Regional Director, Signet Jewelers and Banter by Piercing Pagoda

Lift Up Other Women at Work
“This isn’t a zero sum game. There’s room for all of us at the top. There’s room for all of us at the table. This isn’t like when you play poker, there’s always a winner and a loser. There’s room for all of us. We just have to make room. I make it my mission that when I get to the next level, instead of kicking the ladder down, I build another ladder next to the one I climbed up and I get women up there two times faster. And then my ask is, “Now you build a ladder next to that one.” That’s how we’re going to change things.” — Layla Kasha, Senior Vice President and Chief New Store Growth Officer, Grocery Outlet
