In this bonus series of the Fiftyfaces podcast we meet eight accomplished women who offer a frank assessment of their journeys into the investment world and their experience in it. We hear about being underestimated, and whose problem this is, really. We discuss the imposter syndrome, the high drop-out rate of senior women, and how a Board Director is using her position to drive inclusion and knowledge among private equity firms and boutique firms without grand plans and comprehensive policies.
There is a lot of "grandmother" wisdom in here, some motivation from faith, stories of advances in academia, and a discussion of the contribution to excellence of HBCUs. We hear from female founders who hit more than a few stumbling blocks and how the glass is both full and empty according to one's point of view.
