BONUS Episode – International Women's Day – Will you help #BreakTheBias?

Episode 20

 

"Cheers that women have made a little progress in the past few years in getting a few more women into senior-level roles. But at the rate we're going, it's going to take another 400 years to reach a state of equality." – Holly Teska

 

In this episode, Holly & Kristin talk about:

It's not just about being a woman. It's also about bringing other aspects of diversity to the workplace and being accepted. Bias is everywhere.
The added burden of intersectionality.
How we define "executive presence" and what that means in judging others.
How the notion of cultural fit has been damaging to the advancement of women.
And more!

 Key Takeaways

The one thing we can control is how we think about others.
Each of us doesn't have to set out the change the world ourselves. Just commit to doing something to facilitate the change we need to see.
At the end of the day, it's about valuing everybody's contribution in a way that honors who they are and allows them to contribute to the greater good of our entire world and the whole of humanity, just by being able to be themselves
