Power to You

“Remember the ladies.” – Abigail Adams

“If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.” – Abigail Adams

In this episode, Gloria broaches a topic that has recently been making waves in both politics and business: women in the boardroom. Gloria opens the show with an inspiring quote from Abigail Adams, which echoes the sentiment that women are just as strong, intelligent and capable of getting the job done. Gloria speaks to the work that Stephanie Sonnabend and Malli Gero have done launching a national campaign aimed at increasing the percentage of women on company boards to twenty percent or greater by 2020. They succeeded in that goal but the work doesn’t stop there! Gloria addressed the benefits that companies experience when they elevate women to their boards as well as legislation that is currently being lobbied to require organizations to promote more women to these leadership seats. Finally, Gloria provides key takeaways that listeners as well as executives can employ to support more women on boards across the world.

Listen to journalists and cohort members Angilee Shah and Emily Gertz about why seeing people who look like you in professional roles is important, why they started Women Do News, and how you can get involved in this powerful project.

“What we really need to be thinking is that women have changed as much as they can. It is time for workplaces to change. It’s time for policies to change. And, it’s time for men to change.” - Brigid Schulte

In this episode, Gloria welcomes to the show Director of the Better Life Lab at New America and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Brigid Schulte, and co-founder and CEO of Kinside, Shadiah Sigala to talk about the topic of how working mothers can succeed in the workplace and at home. Brigid and Shadiah share their experiences as mothers in the workplace.

Gloria salutes all working parents, especially single mothers, and argues that we should all put parenthood on our resumes in order to highlight the emotional intelligence and other skills that accompany being a parent. Finally, Brigid and Shadiah share specific strategies and resources for women who want to build a career, earn a fair and competitive wage, and balance a family.

“Only she who attempts the absurd achieves the impossible.” – Robin Morgan

Gloria opens the podcast by discussing an article she recently read claiming that the next CEO of Wells Fargo would be a female human shield. The article argues that it would be a step backwards for women because this role is ‘unprecedentedly terrible’ and the new CEO would have to navigate difficult situations such as prior scandals, plummeting assets, legal issues, and regulatory and political pressures. However, Gloria argues that women should seize the opportunity to take on impossible jobs just like this one because it’s precisely within the chaos that companies are open to new ideas and a leader can move effectively to implement her own changes.

In this episode, Gloria highlights the importance of shifting the current ideology of ‘power over’ to ‘power to.’ She argues that power is an infinite resource, especially when it comes to innovation, imagination, and ingenuity. Gloria speaks to her own experience taking on an impossible job and the exhilaration she felt when she accomplished her goals. Finally, Gloria provides three specific reasons why women should continue to push their own limits and take on roles that many have deemed impossible.

“A movement has to move.” – Gloria Feldt

Gloria distinctly remembers when Diahann Carroll broke through a major television barrier by starring in the hit sitcom, Julia. Diahann was a black actress starring in a hit television show during the height of the Civil Rights Movement in 1968, a task that required courage, tenacity, and aplomb. In the midst of cultural unrest, Carroll was the first African-American woman to have the starring role in her own television show. Gloria argues that this was as momentous a step forward for racial equality as Rosa Parks’ refusal to go to the back of the bus, because media images are so powerful in creating social change and challenging the status quo. In this episode, Gloria lists and breaks down the five powerful lessons for change-makers from Diahann Carroll’s life. These include being intentional about your steps forward, using controversy and compromise strategically, and never underestimating your impact, among others. Finally, Gloria speaks to her own involvement with the Civil Rights Movement, her hunger for social change, and the inspiration to continue advocating for righteous cases like women’s rights.

“In order to be very impactful, you have to align yourself with people who are intentional about the same impact, the same meaning. And you rob yourself of impacting more people if you align yourself with people who are not good intentioned.” - Carina Glover

Thomas to the show to talk about the importance of speaking out on a purpose.

“My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She’s ninety-seven now, and we don’t know where the heck she is!” – Ellen DeGeneres

In this episode, Gloria tackles a sensitive topic that impacts women of all ages: age discrimination. In her experience, Gloria has observed that women of a certain age tend to feel invisible in the workplace and struggle to be heard and remain relevant. She argues that age diversity is just as important to an organization’s growth and bottom line as gender, ethnic, and racial diversity. Aged employees bring a certain amount of maturity, experience and skill that younger employees may lack. Gloria cites designer Vera Wang, chef Julia Child, and author Laura Ingalls-Wilder, among others, as examples of successful women who started their famous careers later in life. Finally, Gloria shares two sets of practical tips for how employers and individuals alike can identify signs of age discrimination and address them accordingly.

In this episode, Gloria welcomes to the show journalist and author, Jessica Bennett. Jessica is the gender editor of The New York Times, working to expand global coverage of women, gender and society across platforms. Her book, Feminist Fight Club: A Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace, chronicles how to navigate subtle sexism at work and provides real-life career advice for a new generation of professional women.
