196: It's Time to Take Your Seat at the Table. Here's How.

Episode Summary

Last month, Carmen sat down at a CEO-only table she visits every month when she's home in Miami. This time, she noticed something: zero women at the table. Not a one-off. She looked back, and the pattern held every month before it.

So she went looking for the data. What she found is both encouraging and hard to sit with. In this episode, Carmen walks through where women in leadership actually stand right now, and the three things she's watched women do differently on their way to earning and keeping a seat at the table.

What You'll Learn

Why a record 55 women now lead Fortune 500 companies, and why that number still means 89 out of 100 of the biggest companies in America are run by men

What the newest McKinsey and LeanIn.org research shows about women getting squeezed out at every rung of the corporate ladder, starting from the very first promotion

Why women are landing C-suite titles, just not the ones with the real power and the real pay

Three things Carmen has watched women do differently on their way to the table, and while they're sitting in the seat

A Note for the Men Listening

Carmen also speaks directly to the men in the audience about affinity bias, the pull we all feel toward people who remind us of ourselves, and why the fix isn't guilt. It's a pause.
