The gender gap is big deal in the corporate world, women make less money and rise to leadership at a lesser rate than men. For entrepreneurs it isn't much different. The amount of women starting businesses each year is growing exponentially, however from a revenue and job creation perspective, the impact is lagging. On this episode Eleanor Beaton shares how the gender gap shows up for entrepreneurs and what you can do about it. Eleanor and I talk about: How to build radical conviction which is the

Ambition Theory: Women in Construction ·

2019/07/10

Brian Duggan is an executive coach who is passionate about diversity in the workplace. He is on a mission to start conversations about how unconscious bias shows up. In this episode I asked Brian some pretty loaded questions about unconscious bias. The truth is, we all have bias and the best way to get started is to hold up the mirror and start with ourselves. If we truly want to embrace diversity in the workplace we need to get curious and create space for conversations to happen. It sounds overly

Ambition Theory: Women in Construction ·

2019/06/30

When it comes to gender diversity initiatives, the idea of setting goals or targets makes everybody really uncomfortable. We get images in our heads of people getting put into positions that they aren’t ready for, or of people getting jobs just because they are a woman. In reality, this just isn't the case. Think about it this way, having a goal gives you the opportunity to create a plan. It helps you to get curious and figure out how to achieve the goal. When you don't have a plan, you won't get

2019/06/11

Have you ever heard the quote "You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with"? I recently ran a 10km road race, and I really felt the impact of this. During the race, I was in a pack of people all striving to achieve a goal. The fact that everyone around me was putting in their best effort and was striving to achieve something brought out the best in me. It allowed me to run faster than I normally do because their motivation is contagious, the people ahead of me inspired me to run

Social capital: Why hard work alone won't get you ahead

Ambition Theory: Women in Construction ·

2019/05/16

One reason why women rise to leadership at a slower rate than men, is their lack of social capital. In this episode I explain why putting your head down and working hard just isn't enough to get ahead. What you really need to do is to understand the value of relationships in moving things forward. We talk about what the evidence says about social capital and what you can do to start leveraging yours.

2019/05/02

One reason why there are fewer women in leadership positions is a lack of available role models. If you don't see someone like you already doing the job, you don't consider it a possibility for yourself. You may not even realize that you think this way, but it's the truth (and researchers have backed this up). On this episode I'm having a conversation with one of my role models Madelaine Corke. We are both entrepreneurs and when we met neither of us had role models to look up to in business in our

In this episode we talk about abundance mindset and how it is the key to unlocking your personal and professional potential. As women (myself included) we don't always support other women's success.

Embracing your personal brand

Ambition Theory: Women in Construction ·

2019/04/15

Just be yourself. That's what everyone tells you to do, so why is it so hard? When you look around and see that people are different than you, is it your instinct to try to become more like them? When your path is different than everybody else's do you try to compensate to fit in? I spent 15 years as a marketing manager and know the power of branding, yet I still resisted the idea of embracing my own personal brand. I had believed that I needed to be like everybody else in order to be successful

Ambition Theory: Women in Construction ·

2019/03/22

I’ve read a lot of studies on gender and the workplace recently and they all seem to have one thing in common. In order for things to truly get better for women in the workplace, men need to get involved. A lot of companies are talking about gender diversity, and they want to make the workplace better for women, but, they don’t really know how to engage men. I know this, because most companies have an employee resource group for women, a lot of companies bring in a speaker for International Women’s

Last week I was reading the2018 World Economic Forum Gender Gap Report. If we continue to make progress at the same pace, the gap for economic opportunity (i.e. gender parity in the workplace) will close in 167 years in Canada and the US. For the world as a whole it’s 202 years. Yikes! That’s a LONG time. When I first started learning about this I was overwhelmed, I didn’t know where to start and I didn’t think I could make a difference. I got curious and started to learn more about the reasons why
