The Secrets to Building a Thriving Career as a Woman
I have only fully realised the barriers we face as women when it comes to our careers in the last couple of years; before that I was completely naive to what we were, and still are, going through. When you listen to some of the stats that are shared around the amount of women in leadership roles, for example, the figures are shocking! Some might argue that those figures reflect personal choices; maybe women don’t want to be in the spotlight, take on c-suite roles or progress their careers…that’s what I used to think anyway. But really that’s just what we’ve been led to believe is true, and that’s why these barriers stay up, instead of being battered down. ⭐ We are often labelled as ‘bossy’, ‘pushy’ or ‘difficult’ when we speak up and take the lead. ⭐ Men are promoted on the basis of their potential. Women are promoted based on experience. ⭐ Women face societal behavioural expectations such as ‘be a good girl’, ‘be grateful’ and ‘be selfless’. All these things make it difficult to build the thriving career we want, so how do we overcome these barriers? My guest on this show is Jo Phillips aka The Woman Behind the Women. Jo is passionate about propelling women forward at every stage of their careers, and I know first hand how f***ing good she is at it. She works with women to help them clarify their vision, refine their skills and chart a course that brings fulfilment and success, and she felt like the perfect guest to have on for this subject. We will cover… 💡 The barriers women face and how to tackle them. 💡 How understanding your worth relates to your pay. 💡 The one thing you can do today that will boost your career. If you’re a woman wanting to break through the barriers and achieve career success, then you’re in the right place…this show is for you! I look forward to having you there.
