Earlier in her career, Heather Kernahan received feedback from a male colleague that she was too shy in weekly engineering meetings. As a result, Heather modified her interactions with her colleagues and gained perspective on how men and women can work together. She sits down with Lee to discuss the hot topic of the day — why men need to be advocates for women in the workplace.

If 70% of the PR industry is made up of women, why are 30% of PR executives men? The SHEQUALITY Podcast, by The PR Council, is a weekly show dedicated to the important issues facing women in the workplace. Hosted by PRC Board Member, Lee Caraher, we interview a senior woman in PR to talk current events, leadership and careers. Our goal: helping women to rise to the executive ranks.

2018 SHEQUALITY Review (Feat. Lee Caraher)

Today we’re re-casting Dale Bornstein’s awesome episode from earlier this year. Dale shares so many stories from her own career about what works and what doesn’t and how to get past conscious and unconscious gender bias in the workplace.  We first recorded this episode on the International Day of the Women – what we hoped was a watershed moment towards a more equitable workplace for all women. Well, 7 months later with countless #MeToo and #TimesUp episodes, a contentious and controversial confirmation for Justice Kavanaugh, and now at least 103 women elected to the House of Representatives (84 was the previous high, and 2 races with women in them have yet to be called), it looks like that watershed moment, will extend for a while longer.

Today we’re re-casting one of our first episodes with Sandra Fathi to get a double dose of her career wisdom.  As Sandra shares, “No one is going to work harder for you than you.” So, on the eve of Thanksgiving, plan to take some time this weekend to reflect on your year, and ponder the next. And in the light of all that has happened with #MeToo, the “Billy Graham Rule” in our culture, have you felt at a disadvantage? At an advantage? What do you want 2019 to look like, and how will you work hard on your own behalf?

Megyn Kelly recently discovered just how quickly a few comments can radicalize people. Lee and Donna LaVoie share their thoughts on the backlash surrounding Ms. Kelly. Everyone has unconscious biases – don’t they? How can you discover your own? And more importantly how do change them once you know they exist.

Anniversaries give us cause to stop and reflect on a specific moment in our life. Some can be good, others bad - but all cause us to pause. Lee and Matt Harrington celebrate the one-year anniversary of the #MeToo Movement today and look forward to a more diverse future both for the individuals directly effected and the business world at large.
