Women and Work Podcast 40: Falguni Shah

The workplace can feel very different for women than for men. Women often feel they have to prove themselves, that they’re evaluated by how they look, or that their opinions are not respected. They feel Mom Guilt for leaving their kids while they pursue a career and worry about taking a job that fuels their passion instead of their pocketbook. We examine these real life challenges of women who are climbing the corporate ladder, growing their own business, and navigating the complex juggle of work and family. We explore how women like you can make work fit your life, not the other way around.

 

When you're doing everything right to get promoted, yet you keep getting passed over, you start to wonder if you will ever reach your career goals. When that happened to Falguni Shah, she questioned herself and her career -- until she started asking around and realizing other women were experiencing the same thing, but her male colleagues weren't. That's when she decided to devote her life to studying why women are still blaming themselves when they hit the glass ceiling, and she crafted the book Gaslighting to Truthlighting and a coaching program to help women overcome this phenomenon. Do you think the forces holding back women have impacted your life?
