March marks Women’s History Month, an opportunity to spotlight the contributions and achievements of women worldwide. In this special episode, we highlight women's ongoing challenges in leadership and workplace equity with actionable takeaways on narrowing the gap.
Anna Stablum welcomes Mette Johansson, a renowned author, speaker, and advocate for gender equality. Mette shares her insights on the hidden barriers that hinder women's progress and the systemic changes needed to create a more equitable work environment.
Mette draws from her book "Narratives: The Stories That Hold Women Back at Work" to explore persistent myths about women's ambition, leadership styles, and workplace biases that continue to affect career advancement. Despite progress, women remain underrepresented in top leadership roles.
Our conversation will dive into:
- Why the disparity persists: Understanding the root causes of underrepresentation.
- Societal expectations: How these influence career trajectories and personal aspirations.
- Redefining leadership: Strategies for women to lead on their own terms and challenge traditional norms.
