"Women Helping Women II: Perspectives from The Conference Board's Women's Leadership Summit"



Show #041207
We HAVE come a long way, baby, but not far enough to completely level the workplace playing field between men and women. Perhaps future generations of women will enter a workforce where equal pay and equal opportunities will be present for both the sexes, but until then, we are fortunate that there are strong women leaders and organizations out there focused on helping women rise to the top of the business world. The Conference Board and their Women's Leadership Summit is one such organization. Michelle had the privilege to interview the Summit Director Mary Wright Benner as well as Summit speaker Carol Fishman Cohen.

Ms. Benner shares the history of The Conference Board, the goals of the Summit and its attendees, and the responsibility of women to fight for solutions to their issues in the workplace. In the "Lipstick Leadership" segment, she describes the female influences in her own life and how being a mother has shaped and enriched her role in the workplace.

Ms. Cohen - co-author of Back on the Career Track: A Guide for Stay-at-Home Moms Who Want to Return to Work - discusses the experiences that led her and her co-author to create this insightful guide. She also reveals four companies that boast stellar in-house programs designed to assist in the re-launch of careers for people who've been out of the workforce for an extended period of time.

In her segment of the show, Kati Machtley explained the origins and history of the Women's Summit and the significance of it in the lives of the women who attend each year. Nancy DeViney - Vice President of Culture and Leadership Behaviors and Client Value Initiative at IBM Corporation - delves into how women can make global connections through mentoring and networking. She also reveals the Top 5 Biggest Issues Women Face in the Workplace and the female role models in her own life. Tory Johnson - CEO of Women for Hire and author of the book Take This Book To Work: How to Ask For (and Get) Money, Fulfillment and Advancement - uncovers the #1 obstacle that holds women back from "the ask" and how to overcome it, as well as her top tip for advancing your career.
