TRANSATLANTIC!! The Americans are in the room!! In this episode Crystal and I are joined by the wonderful Laynnea Myles and Kristi McClure, who have come to speak about the results of a survey they completed on women in the EHS profession. We chat on    Advocacy     Allyship    Micro aggressions (and how to address them in the moment)       Laynnea’s insights about women supporting, or not supporting, each other in the workplace. Leadership and ‘masculine attributes’ I have a pop at Sheryl Sandberg’s ‘Lean In’ (spoiler, not a fan) Crystal shares a story about some difficult feedback she received that was pivotal to her career progression. Thoughts on gender quotas! And, Kristi brings it all together so well: “…the women who have been in this for years and years…you're in that position of power. …If the word chief is in your title or VP, you have an incredible amount of power, you actually can influence how things are. They need you to be an advocate and to be an ally. …You're actually in a position to change the structure and make some systemic changes… You can change a lot with your power if you if you choose to use it that way.”
