The D&Igest: Diversity & Inclusion at work

37. Cindy Gallop on what's wrong with IWD and how to beat workplace discrimination

Listen Later

For International Women’s Day, we speak with Cindy Gallop, the self-proclaimed “Michael Bay of business”. Cindy is a force to be reckoned with and brings with her thought-provoking and divisive opinions on women’s rights and IWD.

She shares her inspiring story of 38 years in brand building, marketing and advertising and her journey as a founder since 2005. We learn about her revolutionary businesses, and her transformative coaching offering that empowers women in their careers to expand their opportunities and take back their confidence.

We discuss IWD's meaning and execution, and Cindy offers her unique perspective on why it has become a farce in her eyes. She also shares her experiences of navigating a male-dominated industry and we discuss why we desperately need more women on corporate boards.

  • What is the value of International Women’s Day?
  • What is wrong with International Women’s Day and how can we fix it?
