Lee hosts another podcast (SHEQUALITY) in which she interviews senior women leaders as they share their personal stories, challenges, achievements, advice and best practices. Based off some incredible conversations, Lee chats with us about why it’s so important to have a diverse workforce, and what you can do to promote diversity at your company.

We sit down with our CEO for 15 minutes each week to get practical business advice so we can advance in our careers. On this episode, we chat about what to do if you want to be part of a diverse workforce…

Key Takeaways

• You have to take actionable steps to increase diversity in today’s workforce
• Men need to double down on meeting with more women
• You have to force the issue because it’s not going to happen naturally today
• Everyone should be able to do exactly what they want to do – people shouldn’t have careers/jobs predefined for them based on their gender
• Make sure you’re staying aware and if you notice a lack of diversity in your life or your workplace – take action
