It starts early! A conversation with Career Development Expert Anne Wilson

Anne Wilson is currently (but not for much longer) Head of Careers at Warwick University. We have a shared passion for Gender Equality and amongst other things, Anne has spent her own career furthering the advancement of women by helping them overcome the barriers to success. So we have much in common! Her experience in this area is vast. From the late eighties, when she ran a survey in the local paper aimed at understanding what would encourage women returners (spoiler alert *no different to today!) to the programme she managed at Warwick, to help prepare female undergraduates for the work place. There are many insights and stacks of wisdom in this conversation but three key takeouts 1. Not much has really changed for women in the last 40 years. 2. The challenges for women, internal and external start way before entering the work place 3. It's no good fixing the system without supporting women to better navigate it and vice versa you have to do both! And if you ever wondered why gilders were all men, apparently it's because women 'lose the knack' after they've had children!

Gender equality doesn't mean fewer rights for men. It's not a cake!

A Success Story from a Professional Man....because equality is about inclusivity! Why aren't there more men like you Jeremy?? Jeremy Stockdale, CEO of Ylead, spent, by his own admission, 50 years thinking he was one of the good guys when it came to gender equality. And then with the help of his daughter, a T-shirt and a few good books on the subject he realised he had got it wrong. If you haven't heard of Jeremy, try searching LinkedIn for "On Wednesday we Smash the Patriarchy" It's the platform Jeremy created to encourage open conversations around the many challenges and some of the taboos, facing women in the work place. I haven't edited this podcast. The conversation is so rich, not to mention entertaining, I wanted to leave it all in. In this episode we discuss <ul> <li>His motivation for creating the platform, what's worked and what hasn't </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Why he thinks it's so important for men to support women in the workplace </li> </ul> <ul> <li>The reasons some men still aren't getting it </li> </ul> <ul> <li>What makes an effective gender ally </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Being trolled by women </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Sleeping less stupid </li> </ul> An edited transcript from this episode will be included in <a href="https://www.successwithoutcompromise.co.uk " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Success Without Compromise: Empowering the next generation of Female Leaders</a> Now available for pre-order on <a href="https://a.co/d/6xHzHUy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Amazon </a>
