This week on The Power Within, we sit down with the incomparable Shelley Zalis—founder and CEO of The Female Quotient, renowned entrepreneur, and advocate for gender equality. Shelley has been at the forefront of creating inclusive spaces for women for over 20 years. Her journey began with a groundbreaking moment at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2013, where she led a group of over 50 women in walking the convention floor—a bold statement in a traditionally male-dominated space. Since then, that group has grown exponentially, symbolizing the increasing presence and influence of women in the tech industry.
Shelley has a remarkable talent for forging impactful partnerships with some of the business world’s most powerful figures, creating spaces for genuine connection and collaboration in FQ’s Equality Lounges
In our conversation, Shelley emphasizes the importance of recognizing and embracing one’s unique inner strengths. She shares how tapping into the Power Within enabled her to carve out new pathways for women in the workplace. By owning the Power Within, Shelley has been instrumental in creating inclusive spaces and advocating for gender equality across industries.
