Smart Women Take the Lead
Smart Women Take The Lead monthly global webcast by Smartwomen Smartconversations (SWSC) and Take The Lead for women in the workplace to launch Friday March 15 at 2:30 pm EDT
Perhaps you want a promotion, or a raise, or you feel ‘stuck’ in your career?
Maybe you’re going on maternity leave or returning to work after a few years?
Or perhaps you want to talk to your boss about flexible working, or you want to get on the fast-track for a leadership position?
SWTTL is a live monthly webcast and community for women who want to get ahead. Our aim is to help accelerate effective change for women in the workplace by addressing key issues and creating real breakthroughs!
And our two organizations are modeling the kind of collaboration we think women individually and women’s organizations collectively must if we are to move the dial of leadership parity forward for women.
INTENTIONING
Sex, Power, Pandemics, and How Women
Will Take The Lead for (Everyone’s) Good
The new book from Gloria Feldt about the future, taking the leadership lessons learned from this disruption and creating a better world for all through the power of intention.
Co-hosts Jana Hlistova founder of SWSC and Gloria Feldt, co-founder of Take The Lead will be joined each month by exciting guests who are experts in their field. We’ll have women and some men too—from business & industry, government, academia. And we will stimulate debate, provide insight and experience to drive change.
We want to hear from you! Please share with us on our Facebook page, Twitter and on the YouTube channel.
Women in the Workplace is our topic for our inaugural March 15 webcast at 2:30 eastern daylight time.

We’ll ask questions like: Where are all the women?
Women have made great progress in all industries and careers, however women continue to ‘leak out’ of the middle ranks in organisations, and are under-represented in senior and board positions:
- Women in the UK make up just 17% of executive directors and a mere 4% of chief executives of FTSE 100 biggest companies.
- In the US women last year made up less than 18% of senior managers and not even 8% of the highest earners. Among the Fortune 500 companies only about 15% of the most senior managers and only 3% of chief executives are women.
- Globally, in 2012, women made up a mere 10.5% of executive board directors, according to GMI Ratings.
At SWTTL, we want to explore the issues and surface what is going on for women in the workplace. Join us for a live discussion.
