Episode Description
In this insightful episode, leadership expert and author Jenna Fisher shares her inspiring journey and hard-won wisdom from over 20 years of helping women navigate the corporate ranks. Drawing from her bestselling book To the Top, Jenna provides a practical playbook for creating meaningful change and closing the gender gap in executive roles. She discusses the importance of authenticity in leadership, the power of sponsorship, redefining career paths as a "web" rather than a ladder, and how the leadership traits once considered "feminine" are now indispensable in today’s workforce. Jenna also offers candid advice on work-life balance, supporting parents through equitable leave policies, harnessing age diversity, and empowering the next generation to maximize their potential.

Being a working parent doesn't come with a user's manual. There are no instructions, no map, and most of us go through life just making it up as we go along, trying to figure it all out and stay ahead of the curve. And sometimes, just when we think we've got it down, life throws us a surprise that tests our patience and spirit. What does that look like for today's working parents? What insights and strategies can help you keep all the balls in the air – and pick them back up when they fall to the ground? What do leading thinkers envision for the future of work and life, and what do employers need to understand about the challenges and successes of their caregiving employees? You'll leave each episode with personal and professional insights, new perspectives, and stories to help you realize you're not alone. Laugh with us, cry with us, and find emotional support as we navigate this new reality together. We believe when we come together, everyone benefits.
