The Boardroom vs. The Working Woman (Part 1)
If this episode is resonating with you, send us a message - we’d love to hear from you 🤍
Welcome to Episode 8 where we dive into the Boardroom and how it's keeping anyone who isn't a White man at arm's length. We go over the current statistics for diverse representation in the boardroom (spoiler alert: they're abysmal), how White women have historically been used as the "next best thing" to a White man, and how you have to change the corporate culture in order to create a truly diverse environment. We also discuss the "glass cliff" phenomenon, imposter syndrome and how to lean into what you need to succeed in the Boardroom.
- Deloitte 2018 Global Report statistics of women CEOs, CFOs and on boards
- UK specific statistics relating to diversity on boards and in directorships taken from Barclay Simpson 2017 report
- 2012 study by Yale psychologist Victoria Brescoll entitled "Who Takes the Floor and Why: Gender, Power, and Volubility in Organizations" detailing how men and women executives were perceived differently
- April 2020 report in the New York Times entitled "It’s Not Just You: In Online Meetings, Many Women Can’t Get a Word In" for how men and women are perceived differently in meetings
- Jan/Feb 2011 Harvard Business Review article entitled "How Women End Up on the 'Glass Cliff'" detailing what the "glass cliff" is
- October 2019 article in The Washington Post entitled "These CEOs Broke the Rules at a Secretive Summit to Expose a Billionaire’s Crude Sexual Comments"
- October 2015 article in Fast Company entitled "Three Strategies For Introverts To Speak Up In Meetings" detailing how best for women to express themselves in meetings
- June 2014 Harvard Business Review article entitled "Women, Find Your Voice" detailing how working women can assist themselves in being heard in the boardroom
