Episode 23: What About the Women? Revisited

This one was first released last year and listening to it again, I was struck by how relevant it still is. If you’re a woman in this field, or just interested in learning more about the unique challenges women in this field face … maybe you manage them or are managed by one, or collaborate with them … this is the episode for you. Listen in and let me know what you think.  Women dominate the Communications field in numbers, but not in leadership roles. Why? Couple gender bias together with our misunderstood and oversimplified field and we have a fight on our hands.  In this episode of the Communication Business Advisor Podcast, Tara McDonagh explains: Equal Pay Day and International Women’s Day - and why companies will recognize one while ignoring the other (or maybe they’ll ignore both in 2025). Gender bias in the workplace and its impact on women’s careers - and how and why that shows up even more for women in Communications.  How second-generation bias, the just world hypothesis and the double-bind impact women at work.  What to do about this challenge.  Where to follow more content on women in communications: www.linkedin.com/company/raise-the-tide-for-women  If you’ve enjoyed the Communications Business Advisor Podcast so far, please take a moment to share this episode with someone, drop a rating, or leave a review.
