Part 2: Challenges Faced by Professional Women in the Workplace
This podcast is the second part of a two-part series exploring some of the challenges women face related to diversity, inclusion and equity. Over the course of my career, I have heard many passing comments and full-throated opinions about the challenges women face in the workplace. Many of them have been less than empathetic. I have heard so many people use examples of very successful women as proof that women don't actually face many challenges at work, but what I am struck by are the assumptions so many people make about those challenges. This episode takes those assumptions and puts them to a very successful woman who has had tremendous success in highly male-dominated environments and answers the question: "What does the journey successful professional women face actually look like?" The podcast features Dr. Nicole Haggerty from Western University and the Richard Ivey School of Business.
