"Feminism isn't about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength." ~ G.C. Anderson https://t.co/dQ7abxL4Dz
Parental leave should not be left to the whims of private employers. W/o a federal policy that gives all parents access to paid leave, there’s little hope that the culture will shift. Even companies w/paid leave discriminate against women & men who take it.https://t.co/IhjN5AJQ84
I can't lie: Reading through some BCG's findings stung a little bit. Seeing the misalignment between boards and CEOs called out so clearly is necessary, but a tough pill to swallow:

In the 1950s women were expected to leave the workforce after marriage & were given limited admin work, freeing men for complex tasks & career paths. Today, clerical workers are vulnerable to AI, less likely to get support for new skills & pay is low: $37K

Myth: Women are better multitaskers than men & more efficient at keeping track of competing things. Research shows that none of us can multitask. Multitaskers are good at task switching, which burns through cognitive capacity & drains energy.@leahruppanner

The boards that work well think beyond representation. They pay attention to how people are included, how perspectives are heard, and how those perspectives actually shape decisions.
That’s what makes the difference.
#BoardGovernance
We talk a lot about getting more women into the #boardroom. We don’t always talk about what happens once they’re there. I’ve been in rooms where the seat was filled… but the voice wasn’t really part of the conversation.
Over time, that shows up in how decisions get made.
Being a woman in PR isn't always easy, that's why spaces like the WorkWell Conference are created to promote community among women in the field.

Women are on track to control $113 trillion, nearly 45% of global wealth.
But a new @HSBC study with Ipsos and Know Your Value finds many women still feel unsupported by financial institutions.

Raised by a struggling, single mother, Cher left high school early and forged her own path into music, creating an enduring legacy along the way. She earns the No. 130 spot on the #Forbes250 list of Greatest Living Self-Made Americans. https://t.co/9zJOM8QHXL

When @joannelipman asked HR execs if their diversity efforts were continuing, every hand went up. When asked who would talk about it publicly, hands went down. The fear of backlash is real—but silence only enables those trying to undermine fair workplaces.https://t.co/weoQR0Zf8I
Most new jobs are going to women because job growth is in fields (like healthcare) where women are the majority. Gender stereotypes have been broken to get more women in STEM; we need the same to get more men into healthcare, teaching, social work, etc.

International study finds female-managed orgs (those with a higher than average number of women in high-earning positions) more likely to dismiss perpetrators of abuse, while male-managed ones were more likely to see the victim of abuse leave the company.https://t.co/vswOmhBp5P
Just 14% of the world’s wealthiest people are women.
