Combating Gender Bias In The Workplace with Andie Kramer
b'This week’s guest is Andrea Kramer. Andie is a lawyer, keynote speaker, artist, women’s rights activist, author, and all around rockstar! She balances a successful and demanding legal career with her passion to help women navigate both the obvious and subtle gender biases they encounter in career settings. This passion has led to co-authoring two incredible books on the topic, “It’s Not You, It’s the Workplace” and “Breaking Through Bias”, as well as co-founding the Women’s Leadership and Mentoring Alliance, which recruits senior women to mentor and support our younger women on their way up. Among all of that, Andie still found time in 2012 to found Andie K, a business through which she makes and sells one-of-a-kind, handmade jewelry, and whose stated mission is to support charities that are empowering women and promoting gender equality.
