Instead of defining ourselves in relation to gender stereotypes, female managers and leaders need to focus on behaving in ways that advance the purposes for which they stand.

Language is arguably the most powerful tool we have, and it can be used as a force for good or it can completely undermine us. Since Greek times a major way of discriminating against women was to silence them. So we need to start owning and celebrating the voice of women. Even down to the pitch and tone.

This video talk about how women can start speaking up and trusting our own voice, and how successful women have done this.

Women regularly receive performance feedback that seems contradictory: some are told they need to “be tougher” but also to “not set expectations so high.” Or to “be more decisive” but also to “be more collaborative.” There seems to be a choice for women between being RESPECTED and being LIKED.

So there is this balancing act that women need to master to get to the top – this video shows you how.

The tricky topic of workplace sexism and harassment has become even more evident in recent years, with women plucking up the courage to share their horrific stories through the #metoo campaign.
