Women's History Month is a time to celebrate and reflect on the contributions of notable women–the disruptors and the pioneers who have played a vital role in changing cultures and society.
But it’s important to realize that although women have come a long way in their rights, there is still a long way to go in terms of gender equality on corporate boards, in paychecks and more.
While we remember the struggles and achievements of the women who came before us, to kick off International Women’s Day, we want to highlight four empowering women who are making change happen today:
- Anila Brown, Head of Organizational Development & Learning at Harris Computer
- Catherine Curtis, Director Global Technical Learning at Microsoft
- Tivonnia Harvey, AVP, CLO at Merck
- Wanda Hayes, Assistant Vice President, Learning & Development at Emory University
In this interview, see some of the challenges they’ve faced during their careers, what the landscape looks like for them today and advice they have for women entering the workforce in the future.
Because being a leader shouldn’t need the word “female” or “woman” before it.
