For Melinda Gates, there’s never been a more critical time to call the world to action to break down system barriers for women. In her recent book, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World, Gates shares enlightening data and personal stories from her work around the globe where she’s seen first-hand the power in challenging the status quo and dismantling pervasive gender inequities to advance society. Steve sat down with Melinda at The Executives’ Club of Chicago earlier this year to discuss why investing in women unlocks opportunity for all, her own struggles in finding her voice and achieving equality at home, as well as her lessons learned to incite lasting change.
