According to research published this year, women fill 2/3s of all roles in learning and development - but only 1/3 of senior positions.

Why is this? And what can we do to encourage and promote women in learning?

This week, Ross G and podcast regular Gemma Towersey are joined by Sharon Claffey Kaliouby, Barbara Thompson and Kate Graham to discuss.
