It's time we chat. In Her Agenda's first panel of 2017, we're putting it all out there. We're bringing together a group of high powered women from various industries to share the reality of sexism and how it impacts achievement and success for women today.
In a recent talk, Hillary Clinton highlights research that proves that "when men are ambitious and successful, they may be perceived as more likable. In contrast, for women in traditionally male fields, it’s a trade-off: The more successful or ambitious a woman is, the less likable she becomes (that’s also true of how women perceive women). It’s not so much that people consciously oppose powerful women; it’s an unconscious bias." What does this look like in every day situations and how do we push back against it? During this talk we'll explore the issue and lay out tactics and strategies to overcome.
