E276｜Bias in the boardroom. Is your weight affecting your pay and career progression? With Napala Pratini

We all know gender inequality exists in the workplace. 

But there’s another kind of bias that’s been quietly derailing women’s careers… and it’s time we brought it into the spotlight. 

 
According to Napala Pratini, co-founder of Habitual, a revolutionary digital platform helping people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes, studies show that women living with obesity are often seen as ‘less productive, less professional, lacking in self-discipline and less likely to lead’.

Meanwhile, men? They can be overweight and still get a pass to top. 🤯

But there is hope as well as powerful tools for change.

Tune in to hear:
