Making it to 15 episodes feels like a milestone. It was just about a year ago that I started The Broad Experience while studying on CUNY's entrepreneurial journalism program. If you'd told me back then that I'd still be passionately producing episodes, and much more often than I'd thought possible, I'd have been surprised. But I'm driven. Women in the workplace has become an even bigger topic of conversation in the year since I started the show, thanks in large part to Anne-Marie Slaughter's Why Women Still Can't Have It All article in The Atlantic, and Sheryl Sandberg's 'Lean In'. No one else is doing what I'm doing with this show, and I'm glad to be working with the podcast network Mule Radio Syndicate. If you like what you hear, please share it on social media and tell others about it. I want to keep doing this, but I need to build my audience.
In this episode I talk to career coach Kathy Caprino about some of the things Sandberg discusses (and doesn't) in 'Lean In', specifically, what do women need to do ourselves to progress at work, and what do companies need to do to meet us on our own turf? Then, a fascinating conversation with Lina Nair of Unilever. What US-based company would think about attracting women back to work by cozying up to their parents?
