| We need to talk. Woman to Woman. | 25 juin 2025 | 00:12:04 | |
I'm not putting on my "professional podcast voice." I just want to talk—woman to woman—about something that's been bothering me deeply: the quiet erasure of women's identities at work. After almost 10 years of coaching women and partnering with companies, I've noticed a disturbing trend. More and more, corporate leaders are scared to even say the word "woman" out loud. It's like being a woman in leadership is suddenly too controversial to acknowledge—and I won't stay silent about it. You deserve to take up space. You don't need to wait to be invited. This episode is your reminder: you are not too much—you're just getting started. Want to Take the Next Step?I created a free masterclass called Invisible to Irreplaceable to help women like us get seen, valued, and promoted at work.
