Description

We’ve been talking about imposter syndrome, specifically in the workplace, this week. I was grateful to talk with Dr. Amy Diehl and Leanne Dzubinski, the co-authors of “Glass Walls: Shattering the Six Gender Bias Barriers Still Holding Women Back at Work.”

Together, they share with us the six gender bias barriers and how they are affecting women every single day across all industries, as well as how these systems, built for and by men, are holding women back.

After watching the replay, be sure to check out the other pieces in this series:

* Why women feel like imposters in spaces that value masculine traits

* Five women who are the first in their male-dominated fields

Join us on Friday to round out this series and share your experiences with imposter syndrome in the workplace.

For women ready to stop living on autopilot and playing it small, Fired Up will show you how to shatter your self imposed limitations and unleash your potential so you can finally start living the life you’ve always wanted. Click to order.
