Elevating Women’s Workplace Wellness & Wealth - EMPOWERING BONDS

My guest, Katie O'Malley, shares her perspective and expertise on the unique and persistent challenges women face in the workplace and the need for representation at the highest organizational levels. Katie highlights five main challenges: the double bind, the idea of only one woman succeeding, the "dearth" of recognition, gender-normed behaviours, and the "made-up" concept of imposter syndrome. Katie urges us to actively recognize other women's achievements and deconstruct gender norms to promote equal opportunities. Katie recommended the "Feminist Fight Club" by Jessica Bennett for practical strategies to address these challenges. Katie is a female entrepreneur with expertise in providing career coaching, leadership development, and workplace consulting to individuals and companies in the US and the UK. Since launching (en)Courage Coaching in 2018, Katie has been on a mission to elevate underrepresented individuals to the rooms where decisions are made. True workplace joy and justice remain elusive until these groups are represented at the highest organizational levels.
