Top Five Takeaways for Gender Equity and Beyond

  • Summary

  • After six podcast episodes, including many discussions with men and women in different fields and at different levels in their careers, co-hosts Melaine Ho and Carla Hickman discuss the top five takeaways for gender equity from the book BEYOND LEANING IN. These are concepts shared in the book and discussed in previous episodes; key ideas that resonate with the early readers that are fundamental to keeping the conversation about equity moving forward: Mental Autocompletes, Points vs. Assists, Generational Differences, Creating Empathy with a Novel and Organizational Impatience. Join this conversation with Melanie and Carla to reflect on everything we’ve learned on this six-episode journey!

    Welcome to BEYOND LEANING IN, a podcast designed to inspire candid discussion about gender gaps in the workplace. All too often, the “real talk” about the challenges that professional women face happens behind closed doors. Author Melanie Ho is on a mission to change that through her new book, BEYOND LEANING IN. She is joined in this podcast by co-host Carla Hickman as the two longtime friends discuss the ideas and research that inform Melanie’s book. You will also be invited to listen and join the conversation with early readers, women and men across generations and a wide range of professions, as they reflect, discuss and debate the ideas in the book. Also, don’t forget to get a copy of BEYOND LEANING IN in any of its formats, now available on Amazon.
