RECAP: Women in Corp. Leadership Chat - #WomenBiz15
Longtime TriplePundit readers have repeatedly asked us to do more with our Women in CSR series which has been one of our longest running and most popular columns.
With that in mind, this one hour conversation through Twitter was put on in honor of International Women's Day. Shannon Schuyler, Principal, CR leader, PwC and President of The PwC Charitable Foundation, Inc., and Connie L. Lindsey, Executive Vice President and Head of Corporate Social Responsibility and Global Diversity & Inclusion, Northern Trust were our special guests.
The Twitter Chat explored ways to foster female leadership and overcome gender inequality in the workplace. The conversation covered topics including obstacles to advancement today, how companies can proactively approach gender diversity on boards, and specific things we can do to foster confidence and leadership skills among girls in school today so that they may become the women leaders of tomorrow. We discussed the role men can play in the workplace to empower their female colleagues, and we also addressed your questions!
