They're a little over 50% of the population and 57% of those with college degrees, so why are so few women holding elected offices, serving as chief executives, or otherwise holding positions of significance? In this episode, we have two outstanding female leaders give their take on this disparity and their efforts towards making governance more gender equitable. First is prior CEO of ACC-OC and current CEO of Real Women, Real Success Lacy Schoen, who shares her business' mission and recent book release (Conscious Business Growth--an Amazon bestseller!) Joining right after is Rachel Michelin, the Executive Director/CEO of California Women Lead, a non-partisan non-profit organization devoted to encouraging and preparing women to run for elected office or pursue state and local appointments. If you're a woman who's always thought about taking on a more active role in civic affairs, this show is for you! Even our male listeners can learn a thing or two!
