In this episode…
Do you want to create a more vibrant, equitable, diverse workplace? Are you looking for resources and strategies to help you and your company create a more female-friendly environment in the office?
According to experienced leader and diversity advocate Eva Helén, transformation is a team effort. In other words, men and women must work together to champion diversity in and out of the workplace if we hope to effect real, lasting change. Unfortunately, this is more difficult in some industries than others. In tech, it’s often difficult for women to enter the industry — let alone attain a leadership position. However, this is exactly why leaders like Eva do what they do: to help both men and women band together to revolutionize historically male-dominated fields.
In this episode, Eva Helén, the Founder and CEO of EQ Inspiration, sits down with Dov Pollack to discuss the importance of men playing an active role in women’s workplace empowerment. Listen in as Eva talks about helping men become more inclusive leaders, her journey from Sweden to Silicon Valley, and why owning your story as a female leader can be your true superpower.
