Welcome to the Wednesday WIP episode of The WIBS podcast. WIBS stands for Women In Business and that is exactly what this podcast is about. This is a podcast for women in business who want to achieve, but also have some fun along the way. Ready to dive into detail? Our Wednesday WIB WIP does just that, where we tackle one key area of female business life with real life examples and practical advice to help you get the most from our weekly pod.
Ever experienced being talked over in a meeting? You’re not alone.
A recent study by McKinsey called Women In The Workplace found that women get interrupted 50% of the time in meetings; and 38% had experienced others taking credit for their ideas.
On today’s episode we discuss the important topic of overcoming being talked over at work and finding your voice as a woman in business. We will discuss the challenges women face in male-dominated work environments, the impact of being talked over, and provide practical strategies and advice to help listeners assert themselves, gain visibility, and make their voices heard.
On today’s episode we dive into:
- How the biological and societal differences between men and women impact our communication styles
- The tactics we recommend all women use to prevent being talked over at work
- How we overcame being talked over in business and in the boardroom
- Why humour can be a practical tool in broaching the subject in a workplace
