(StatePoint) Setting and reaching goals is never easy, and if you\u2019re a woman, you will likely face additional challenges on the path to achieving your dreams.<\/p>\n

To foster the success of future female leaders, five Wells Fargo honorees of American Banker\u2019s \u201cMost Powerful Women in Banking\u201d are sharing their best advice with the next generation of female leaders:<\/p>\n

1. Stick it out.<\/strong> Tracy Kerrins is Wells Fargo\u2019s head of technology, a position equivalent to chief information officer. One of the only women at a large American bank with this role, Kerrins knows that roadblocks are a part of the journey that you should anticipate and plan for.<\/p>\n

\u201cStick to your goals, even when obstacles emerge, and rely on those who are truly invested in your success,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

This focus on preparedness keeps Kerrins on her toes in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. Recently, she and her team implemented a number of personalization technology solutions that are improving the banking experience, including beefing up fraud detection and delivering a virtual assistant to customers.<\/p>\n

2. Stay curious.<\/strong> Transforming the banking industry is fundamental to Kristy Fercho\u2019s role at Wells Fargo as head of diverse segments, representation, and inclusion. Her motto amounts to \u201cThe 3 B\u2019s,\u201d which include, \u201cBe excellent at your job. Be curious. And most importantly: Be your authentic self.\u201d<\/p>\n

This attitude is valued at a time when Wells Fargo continues to commit to its diversity, equity and inclusion programs both inside the company and in communities where they operate.<\/p>\n

3. Uplift others.<\/strong> For Ellen Patterson, general counsel for Wells Fargo, her own success is a reflection of the diligence and hard work of the team of over 1,200 attorneys and legal professionals she leads. She views every experience as an opportunity to learn from others and to teach others, regardless of seniority, and she values coming together as a team to put forth the strongest work product. That\u2019s why she advises: \u201cBe great at what you\u2019re doing, and actively look for ways to be helpful to those around you. That applies in the early days and later on as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Solve problems.<\/strong> Given her educational background, it\u2019s no surprise that Tanya Sanders, head of Wells Fargo\u2019s auto division, has confidence that solutions to most problems are just waiting to be discovered. Not only is she a banker looking to simplify the process for consumers to obtain auto loans and vehicles, she\u2019s also a mechanical engineer who believes, \u201cThere is incredible power in forging new and inclusive solutions.\u201d She advises future leaders to \u201cFind ways to collaborate with professional and community colleagues to develop solutions that expand economic and social benefits for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Communicate effectively.<\/strong> Kara McShane, head of Wells Fargo\u2019s commercial real estate division, believes strong communications are a critical component of business acumen. Her advice is to, \u201cLearn how to communicate clearly, concisely and confidently in order to be effective. Be direct but diplomatic. How you say it is as important as what you say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re in school, recently graduated or in the middle of your career, applying the tried-and-true lessons of successful women leaders can help you meet challenges head on and make a bigger impact.<\/p>\n
