Women leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs often face loneliness as they navigate rejection, especially from men in similar roles. This may cause them to parallel men's leadership styles to conform to established norms and stereotypes. How can women identify and hone their personal leadership styles?

Women undertake many roles, some including mother, mentor, and leader. Rather than trying to emulate men while juggling personal and professional pursuits, Emilia D'Anzica and Sabina Pons maintain that women should tap into their unique and dynamic skills. These include high levels of emotional intelligence and empathy and supportive natures. Women should also support each other in their roles and share their individual experiences to dismantle stereotypes, bias, and sexism in corporate work environments.

In this week's episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show, Andrea Heuston welcomes Emilia D'Anzica and Sabina Pons of Growth Molecules™, to discuss how they broke the glass ceiling in corporate tech. Together, Emilia and Sabina share the women's stories featured in their book, the loneliness epidemic among women leaders, and how to address workplace sexism.
