Dawn & Tracy | What’s Being a Woman got to do with Failing as a Leader - Women in Power and the Business Blame Culture on Female Leaders
On today's show, we're talking about the topic of being embarrassed by other women leaders in the world, specifically around female prime ministers of the UK. What we're asking is many things, but most of all, maybe we need to stop looking at gender and accepting that our leaders are human beings. It's got nothing to do with boobs or bums.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It seems that when a man in a position of power makes a mistake, it has nothing to do with him being a man. When a woman in a position of power makes a mistake, it’s because she’s a woman. For some reason people think that having a ‘rack’ means you can’t do your job properly.
- We want to support other women in power, but when they do a rubbish job and let the team down we’re allowed to criticise them, without feeling like we’re just piling in with the misogynists.
- What really ticks us off as women in the business world is that if you’re not at 100% for one day, you get the comments saying, oh she’s got PMT.
- If you go back in history, we were not equal. There were people out there fighting for equality for women. We get equality to the point where we've got women leading a country and when she messes it up, there's an element in us that thinks why did she have to be the woman to be in charge.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If a man messed up, you wouldn't go down the route of, oh yeah, they messed up, but hey, what a great body he’s got’
‘The minute we mess up, it goes to what we are wearing?’
‘You can very easily get sucked into the right and wrong of policies. But if we remove that and just go, what impact did she have for females?’

ABOUT THE HOSTS
Dawn and Tracy are real women who are fed up with all the “noise” out there in the real world. Life isn’t simply rainbows and unicorns, it's broken relationships, hard work, hot sweats and never ending laundry baskets. But life as a real woman is also about being honest, having good gossip and speaking our truths. Whether it’s peeling yourself into your spandex for a night out, or running a business meeting barefoot because the heel has fallen off your stilettos, there is always something to laugh about in life.
Dawn is mid 50’s mid menopause straight talking business maverick. Four kids, three grandchildren, two businesses, one husband and a self proclaimed “hottie”.
Tracy is a mid 50’s awesome mum, business and property mentor. Proud of her raw, honest nature, “bonkers” sense of humour and good old fashioned northern humility.
PODCAST DESCRIPTION
The business of being a real woman juggling life, love and work for many of us is pure sweat, grit & hustle. This podcast is for those of you who are tired of the “noise” and just want real down to earth gossip with no filters or fluff. Dawn and Tracy bring heart felt humour, raw honesty, spandex, stilettos and intelligent conversion on being a real woman in today's world.
