WomenHeard

Did you know that there are five generations in the workplace? Just that fact makes this conversation about intergenerational communications so important! The panel featured in this episode was originally recorded at NYWICI's 2021 Student Career Bootcamp and features experts discussing how to bridge the communication gaps between generations in the workplace. You'll hear tons of advice about how to communicate effectively in the workplace as well as anecdotes that are both educational and entertaining.

The bootcamp is relaunching this year as an exciting new event: the Communications Bootcamp. The 2022 Communications Bootcamp is an exclusive event for rising students and early professionals. It will feature industry icons and speakers discussing the tools, skills, and expertise young women need to develop their careers and succeed in today’s dynamic communications industry. The Bootcamp will be held on Monday, November 7th, 2022 at the Spotify Headquarters in New York City. Here is more information and a link to register. We hope to see you there!

We had the incredible honor of interviewing two amazing women and 2021 NYWICI Matrix winners: Hoda Kotb, co-anchor of NBC's TODAY, and Yamiche Alcindor, anchor and moderator of Washington Week on PBS and NBC News Washington correspondent. Both spoke candidly about their career paths, mentors, and the challenges facing women in the workplace. In this episode, Hoda shares advice given to her by Maria Shriver and Yamiche delves into how she's handled tough situations while covering politics. Listen to hear more about their fascinating career trajectories and the lessons they've learned along the way.

This interview was originally recorded in the fall of 2021.

As Lowe's executive vice president, chief brand and marketing officer (plus a 2021 Matrix winner!) Marisa Thalberg had a lot to share about her career with the WomenHeard audience. In this episode, Marisa gives advice about career changes (she's worked for some of the biggest brands, including Estee Lauder and Taco Bell), taking risks, challenges for women in the workplace, and so much more. This episode will also be a particularly meaningful one for current and future working moms, as she shares the origin story for creating the organization Executive Moms.
