Despite the added stress and exhaustion, of the Covid-19 pandemic, women are rising to the moment as stronger leaders and taking on the extra work that comes with this: compared with men at the same level, women are doing more to support their teams and advance diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. However, their rise up the corporate ladder doesn’t happen at the same rate as their male counterparts. Women continue to face a broken rung at the first step up to manager: for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 86 women are promoted McKinsey & Company. As a result, men outnumber women significantly at the manager level, which means that there are far fewer women to promote to higher levels. The broken rung likely explains why representation of women at the senior-manager, director, and vice-president levels has improved more slowly than the pipeline overall.
Kim Meninger is a women's leadership coach and consultant. “I specialize in helping women in traditionally male-dominated fields to more confidently navigate their work environments and rise to higher levels of leadership.” She has a particular focus on impostor syndrome, which is an epidemic across workplaces, especially those that lack psychological safety. Her primary goal is to help women recognize that they are not a problem to be fixed. Instead of internalizing the challenges they face in the workplace, She encourages them to empower themselves with greater confidence, visibility and influence. She joined me this week to tell me more.
