32:55 Share

*“The women who get to the top of the existing power structures have the ability to make the most change.”*Today’s episode is all about women and power. We explore the question, “How do we move away from the old notion of what constitutes power and redefine it to meet the needs of the future?” That question leads to a deeper discussion about how women leaders can embody and model this new type of power.I was introduced to my guests, Katty Kay and Claire Shipman, when I read their book, “The Confidence Code”.  I recommend that book to almost every woman leader I work with, as it offers meaningful research and insights about the cultivation of confidence in women. I have the pleasure to talk to these veteran journalists, authors, and all-around powerhouse women about the research and conclusions about women and power in their new book, “The Power Code”, which launches today.In this episode:

• Why Katty and Claire decided to explore the concept of power
• Why are we, as women, so afraid of the word power?
• Redefining power structures as women
• Kay’s and Shipman’s advice for women leaders
• How we can use power differently
