Or, should you take a more caring and compassionate approach?⁠ ⁠ In this podcast episode, I provide a brief overview of the research about how to create the sort of environment in which your team can thrive.⁠ Link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ #leadershipcoachpodcast #leadershippodcast #silverliningpsychology #business #goals #entrepreneurlife #smallbusiness #businessowner #mindset⁠ #inspiration #leadership #highperformance #executivecoaching #success #motivation #entrepreneur #coaching #productivity #mindfulness #career #stressmanagement #mompreneur #success #leader #emotionalintelligence #EQ #softskills⁠
This is the view from my office space for most mor This is the view from my office space for most mornings. I'm sitting on my son’s bed while I supervise his remote schooling.⁠ ⁠ I’m grateful that I have the flexibility to be able to manage my schedule to be able to accommodate this (most times). According to a McKinsey survey, 1 in 4 women are contemplating downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce due to challenges such as these that Covid-19 has created for families. The most prominent challenges right now include childcare and homeschooling responsibilities, mental health, and burnout. ⁠ ⁠ The study goes on to say that, “During Covid-19, women—and mothers in particular—are taking on an even heavier load. Mothers are more than three times as likely as fathers to be responsible for most of the housework and caregiving. In fact, they’re 1.5 times more likely than fathers to be spending an extra three or more hours a day on housework and childcare—equivalent to 20 hours a week, or half a full-time job.” These challenges are even greater for Latina and Black mothers.⁠ ⁠ This is an unprecedented time, and we as a society, must do more to support women. It’s not enough to simply pay lip service to supporting women - organizations must make policy and structural changes to do so. Organizations that have higher proportions of women in senior leadership are more likely to outperform their competitors. Even if companies don’t feel a moral obligation to promote women’s issues, shouldn’t the fact that they’re probably leaving money on the table act as motivation?⁠ ⁠ We, as a society, have to do more.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #womenintheworkplace #genderequality #business #goals #entrepreneurlife #smallbusiness #businessowner #mindset⁠ #inspiration #leadership #highperformance #executivecoaching #success #motivation #entrepreneur #coaching #productivity #mindfulness #career #stressmanagement #mompreneur #success #leader #emotionalintelligence #EQ #softskills⁠
