Girl, Take the Lead!

201. The Broken Rung and Beyond: Women’s Roadmap to Leadership, A Discussion with Drew Turner


Listen Later

Drew Turner, Millennial, joins Yo to discuss the McKinsey Women in the Workplace 2024 – the 10th Anniversary Report.

Drew began her leadership journey in retail at Williams Sonoma, eventually transitioning into Learning

and Development at Tesla. She’s passionate about helping women break free from societal expectations and step confidently into leadership roles. Her vision is
a world where women lead boldly and empathetically, breaking barriers for future generations.

Drew is also Yo’s Chi Omega Fraternity sister and when they attended The Nancy Walton Laurie Leadership Institute, Yo knew she’d offer all of us rich leadership insights.

 

Topics Covered:

      

Women representation at C-suite positions  
Barriers women face in the pipeline    
Reaching gender parity
Making career changes    
Kinds of training and education needed     
Micro aggressions


3 Episode Takeaways

 

1.   While women make up 29% of C-suite (2015 it was 17%) it will take 22 years for white women to reach parity - and even longer for women with color.

 

2.   The Broken Rung disconnect is about the lack of women moving into the manager level: For every

100 men, 81 women are promoted to manager (as of 2024). Another finding: women are no more optimistic than in the past.

 

3.   It’s good to remember that we can give ourselves permission to change it up by listening to ourselves

and our intuition. All the experiences we have come along with us in making a career change.
