Women at the Top of Telecoms and Tech

Ep 022: Knowing and Asking for What You Want


Listen Later

This week, I’m welcoming a great guest, Michelle Gyimah, and we're going to be talking about how, as a woman at the top, you can know what you want and ask for it. Rather than getting stuck and feeling like you don't deserve it.

Michelle Gyimah is the Director of Equality Pays, a gender and ethnicity equality consultancy that is dedicated to closing workplace pay gaps.

Here are the highlights:

  • (02:41) Women are rarely asked what they actually want
  • (04:15) What is it that you want?
  • (07:58) Ask for the thing that's not been put on the table
  • (12:53) Do a proper risk assessment
  • (24:58) Leadership starts there with what you want, what you need, and when you need it
  • (31:37) Trust your instincts
