KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Everyone has biases.
- The lack of diversity at the top demonstrates that there is a lack of equality in the workplace.
- Inequality outside of work plays a significant role in inequality at work. If you take on the bulk of domestic chores, and child and elder care duties, you don´t have as much time and energy left for work.
- Plan for what you want to do in your career.
- You don´t have to be liked to do well, you have to be respected.
- Get yourself seen - network with those above you and people outside of your firm.
- To get to the top you need a sponsor.
- Be authentic and do work that you enjoy.
BEST MOMENTS
“None of us are as inclusive as we think we are. “
“It takes certain people to sit above the parapet to get things done. “
“My husband would say I am stubborn. I say I am persistent. “
