How to promote women: Be the mentor of the moment, says Dr. Brad Johnson

What does it take to get ahead in the corporate world? How much harder is it when you are female?

Jean interviews Dr. Brad Johnson,  a White male clinical psychologist who has spent most of his professional life learning and teaching how to encourage female talent.

His answers are straightforward; simple but not easy. These involve mentoring in the moment, seeking out those who are different, and promoting talent.

Author of 14 books, his most recent include: Good Guys: How Men Can Become Better Allies for Women in the Workplace (2020, October, with David Smith) and On Being a Mentor: A Guide for Higher Education Faculty (3rd Ed.) (2025, with Kimberly Griffin)
