Do you ever wonder why is there such a large gender divide of women in senior management positions?
Are you curious about the underlying reasons that women aren’t making it up to the higher levels?
Do you want to know the two most important attributes to help you advance your career?
Would you like to know the career development strategies successful women use to overcome self-imposed limitations?
Then join me today with women's leadership, emotional intelligence and the gender divide expert and Author Dr. Shawn Andrews to learn how you can break the glass ceiling to advance your career, leadership and life.
Here’s some important facts on women in the workforce:
Women make up about 52% US labor force. We also know that women make up most professional occupations, such as attorneys and physicians. When you look at education, 60% of bachelor’s degrees in both the US and in Europe are obtained by women. 

But here is the problem. 

There are more women than men in the workforce and women have the professional degrees. Women are getting the experience and have the education to back them up.  So it would be a natural assumption to think that would translate into leadership and women climbing the corporate ladder. Unfortunately that is simply not the case.

If you look at the number of female CEOs at our S&P 500 companies, it equals 5.2%. That translates into 26 female CEOs.   This is an unacceptable gender divide that my guest expert and I want to help change.
