EPISODE 5: "Talking About Women @ Work""

"As a result of 2020 dynamics, more than one in four women are contemplating what many would have considered unthinkable just six months ago: downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce completely. This is an emergency for Corporate America. Companies risk losing women in leadership—and future women leaders—and unwinding years of painstaking progress toward gender diversity."

- 2020 “Women in the Workplace” report, McKinsey & Company 

Hiring talented men and women is the beginning of gender diversity, not the end.  While many companies have committed to increasing the number of female leaders in their organization, far fewer have asked themselves what needs to change to retain her once she signs the offer letter.  Joining us in The Leadership Living Room for this important conversation is author, speaker, podcast host, and leadership coach Jo Saxton. Join us as we get curious about the impact of gender differences in the workplace and “reveal what feels real” for women at work right now.  If you want to improve gender equity in your workplace, and gain empathy for the differences that exist, this is your episode!

We want to help you have a conversation with about this topic back at work!  Get your team or a group of women together and use this podcast  episode + this toolkit to lead a high-impact, high-trust conversation:
