For years, women have been told that education, hard work, confidence, and ambition would close the gap.
The data says otherwise.
In this powerful conversation, I welcome author Stefanie O'Connell to discuss The Ambition Penalty and the hidden forces shaping women's careers, pay, leadership opportunities, and lives at home.
From the "broken rung" and "glass cliff" to the invisible labor women carry, Stefanie breaks down the research behind why progress has stalled—and what we can do about it.
This episode is equal parts validating, infuriating, and empowering.
You'll walk away with a completely different perspective on ambition, leadership, workplace culture, and the collective changes needed to create lasting progress.
