Strategies to Thrive in a Male-Dominated Workplace

You rarely see another soul in the ladies' room or you've been mistaken for someone's assistant. Does it sound familiar? For many young, successful women, "making it" professionally means learning to master male-dominated workplaces where the boys' club still somehow permeates. Get answers to your most pressing career questions, and gain insight on how to navigate your workplace for advancement and overall career-success-effectively. Let's discuss current trends, roadblocks, and strategies on how to avoid hitting any ceiling, and thrive in a male-dominated workplace.

Radical Empathy: Creating Cultures of Transformative Leadership

No company today can succeed without empathy at the core of its business strategy. But empathy isn't just about compassion and consideration for your customers. For an inclusive, transformative culture to thrive, organizations need to ensure that all employees feel valued, heard, and appreciated.

Inclusive Leadership: Harnessing the Power of Diversity

Organizations are becoming increasingly diverse. Yet hiring diverse talent — considering characteristics including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, ability, and sexual orientation — is only the first step in creating an inclusive organization. Leaders need to be able to create inclusive environments and create psychological safety so that everyone brings their whole selves to work each day.
