Interrupt Unconscious Bias and be an Agent of Change

Despite women’s advancement in the overall workplace, a broken pipeline remains with far too many qualified warrior women not advancing to the top levels. If you have ever felt frustrated when you have done all the things to advance, but still you are passed over, or if you have ever felt like the blame has been placed on your shoulders…that you have deficiencies that need to be “fixed” in order to advance when in reality there are systemic inequities and organizational gender biases and barriers that are holding you back, then THIS is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Leaders and decision makers…you have a choice to make. Do you want to be a defender of the status quo, or an agent of change? Leadership can create positive change and have an impact immediately, if we are willing to walk boldly towards our unconscious bias, acknowledge it, and interrupt bias patterns. Don’t miss this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast to learn more about what you can do to be a part of creating the change we need to level the playing field and foster an equitable workplace culture where we can all thrive.
