Did you know there could be one million more women in management in corporate America if the “broken rung” was fixed?

The broken rung, the biggest hurdle multicultural women face climbing the corporate ladder, is a systemic issue. That’s why we’re covering what organizations can do to fix it in our last episode of our Broken Rung series.

We talk about the holistic strategies companies can implement so they can promote more women of color from individual contributor to manager. We highlight the benefits of having more multicultural executive coaches to serve as catalysts. And we discuss the importance of providing psychological safety for multicultural women employees in the workplace.

Remember, you don’t have to do it alone! We’re here to help with this three-part series and with our upcoming What Rules!? Leadership Conference, specifically developed for multicultural women and their managers, on 10/25/23. Learn more at whatrulespodcast.com.
