Episode 53 - Being A Woman's Ally in A Man's World with Sean Simmonds LinkedIn
In this episode, I'm happy to be talking with Sean Simmons, the operations lead for RemX Staffing's healthcare division. Last week's episode featured Ziba, Sean's colleague and I'm excited to hear his perspective on the topics at hand, being an ally for women. With his extensive experience across various roles in the U.S., Sean offers a unique perspective on how female leaders often bring a heightened sense of empathy and care to the workplace. Sean helps to highlight how men can support these strengths by embracing diverse leadership styles, fostering inclusivity, and actively advocating for women's career advancement. Sean also touches on the power of sponsorship in building a more inclusive and effective leadership culture, creating a supportive environment that benefits everyone.
On a bit of a more serious note, we stress the importance of seeking guidance, documenting incidents, and the role men play in advocating for equity. Reflecting on the workplace culture shifts over the past decade, the presence of strong female leaders like Ziba is celebrated for inspiring teams to become allies for change. Additionally, we explore the dynamics of adapting to leadership styles, whether familiar or new, and offer strategies for thriving under female leadership.
In this episode:
-Sean's perspective on why women make great leaders in the workplace.
-Leadership isn't a one-size-fits-all operation.

Connect with Sean:
I grew up in Seattle, Washington area and graduated from University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. Shortly after school, I moved to Scottsdale, AZ and found my first professional position in staffing. I recruited Nurses and caregivers for home health and clinical services for 4 years and then was given an exciting opportunity to recruit in the IT space at a boutique talent partner for leading private equity investors in San Francisco.
I learned a lot from Silicon Valley and loved living in SF but again was provided another unpassable IT recruiting opportunity that would take me to Chicago, IL and recruit for an excellent Managed Service Firm. I didn't last too long in Chicago due to those freeeeezing holiday months, so after my second winter I moved to LA and found a home at RemX.
I was recently promoted from a Senior Staffing Manager role in September of last year and now am the Operations Lead for a brand new Healthcare Division with RemX. I'm extremely excited to contribute to its success and watch it grow so we can make a real difference in the industry!
Connect with Suky:
I'm Suky an adrenaline junkie who celebrates every single win. I believe we must celebrate and collect all our wins along the way as it fuels forward momentum to ensure we exceed our goals. When we fuel forward momentum, complacency simply can not settle in.
With over 25 years of experience working in the staffing industry, 16 of those working with global recruitment companies, I bring the knowledge and experience of working in 18 countries and successfully navigating through numerous "recession" cycles.
Companies often get so focused on the bottom line that they forget that we are in the "people business". For me, the magic happens when my clients recognize the best way to create a truly sustainable high-performance sales culture is to align both.
