Women in Leadership – Gains and Goals

For the first time in the history of the Fortune 500, women are leading 10% of the United States’ largest companies by revenue.  It might not feel like much of a leap, but it is a milestone nonetheless. Seeing women in these roles, achieving success and delivering results at the top of their industries, the more motivated and vindicated the push for gender parity.

Can there be equity without empathy?

As Black History Month comes to an end, I wanted to share an important resource for advancing equity and anti-racism in organizations.
