After spending almost two years interviewing multicultural women in the c-suite, entrepreneurs, authors and speakers, we’ve seen a running theme of how women are shattering the glass ceiling and breaking through the concrete ceiling: rule-breaking. But what rules are we talking about and why do they exist? That’s what we explore in the What Rules!? podcast. You’ll learn our six guiding principles for multicultural women looking to outsmart the game to advance their career. Founded by HR executives specializing in diversity and inclusion and talent management, Rosa Santos (co-host), and Merary Simeon (co-host), and executive coach Alisa Manjarrez (producer).
