What if the path to leadership in tech isn't just about technical skill, but about breaking down systemic barriers and fostering true inclusion?

In this episode of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, Erica Rooney sits down with Anna Radulovski, CEO and founder of Coding Girls and co-founder of Global Innovation Catalyst. Anna is a dynamic force dedicated to empowering women and diverse leaders in tech through education, inspiration, and connection.

Together, they dive into the critical reasons behind the scarcity of women in tech, the nuances of allyship, and the importance of advocating for your worth. Anna shares invaluable insights from her new book, Chief in Tech, offering strategies for women to negotiate powerfully, join impactful boards, and leave a lasting legacy in the innovation economy.

Inside the Episode:

  • The Root of the Problem: Exploring why so few women lean into tech, from early childhood influences to the lack of visible role models.
  • Beyond the Numbers: Why diverse teams are more innovative and financially successful, and the challenges of changing entrenched systems.
  • Effective Allyship: Practical advice for men and women on how to speak up against microaggressions and injustice in the workplace.
  • Your Personal Board of Directors: The power of a trusted circle for honest feedback, expert advice, and crucial support in your career journey.
  • Dreaming Without Borders: Cultivating the mindset that your worth is your birthright and embracing healthy entitlement to achieve your biggest aspirations.
  • Negotiating Your Worth: Strategies for women to powerfully advocate for themselves in salary negotiations and career advancement.
  • Making Boardroom Impact: Navigating different types of boards to drive change and build a legacy, beyond just public company boards.
  • The 24-Hour Rule: A practical approach to managing highs and lows in your career and maintaining resilience through life's challenges.

If you're ready to break through self-imposed ceilings and lead with authenticity and impact in the tech world and beyond, this episode is your blueprint.
