  • Summary

  • Women face gender discrimination throughout our careers. It doesn't have to derail our ambitions — but how do we prepare to deal with it? There's no workplace orientation session about narrowing the wage gap, standing up to interrupting male colleagues, or taking on many other issues we encounter at work. So HBR staffers Amy Bernstein, Amy Gallo, and Emily Caulfield are untangling some of the knottiest problems. They interview experts on gender, tell stories about their own experiences, and give lots of practical advice to help you succeed in spite of the obstacles.

    Jun 17 2024
    As a mid-level manager, when you spot an opportunity for the business to adopt a new technology, enter a different market, or improve a process, how should you approach the people above you so that they listen to your idea and act on it?

Love it!

So refreshing to listen to like minded minds. My experience is one of a culture change in my work place which was once the majority of women. I was young and growing in this environment only to experience a rapid change to majority of men. This podcast has shined light on what I have been going through. I thought it me. Thank you.
