What we're listening to or reading about
The "Define Your Values Masterclass" episode of the Hello Monday Podcast with author Elizabeth Gilbert and author & Professor Suzy Welch, where they share insights about transforming our approach to values, was a delightful listen. It harmonized beautifully with the Bonus Worksheets from The Playbook Extravaganza preview.
The VEST Podcast episode "Why are Men Often Reluctant to Mentoring and Advocating for Women at Work?" profoundly resonated with us. In it, gender-inclusive culture expert Brad Johnson discusses the skills and benefits men gain from advocating for women in the workplace (Allyship). This discussion aligns seamlessly with the principles outlined in the "Cracking the Bias Code" guidebook.
The Pink Chip initiative Sam Rowlands, Grace O’Brien, and Jana Hlistova discuss on this episode of The Purse podcast aligns perfectly with the principles of our “Playbook Extravaganza” and “Cracking the Bias Code” Guidebook. All emphasize self-advocacy, assertiveness, and forming supportive connections. Overcoming investor bias needs a psychological, societal, and cultural shift. Developing a strong self-concept is crucial for women to challenge gender norms. Educating investors on gender diversity through storytelling is powerful. Equal opportunity needs personal empowerment, cultural awareness, and strategic partnerships.
