Kristine Cherek, GenX, joins Yo to discuss her book, Tread Loudly: Call Out the Bullsh*t and Fight for Equality in the Workplace. Kristine Cherek is an attorney, former law professor, writer, and philanthropist.
Kristine began her career practicing commercial real estate law at an international law firm. By the age of 33, she was the general counsel of the nation's largest developer of healthcare facilities. After she left the practice of law, she taught for eight years at a law school in Florida. She now focuses on writing, speaking, and advocating for gender equality in the workplace. Her philanthropic work centers on equity and access in higher education, arts education, food security, and animal welfare. This is Part 1 of a 2-Part series. Here are the topics we covered in the series:
- Work friends and their importance.
- Having it all (not!) and Perfectionism.
- Beliefs.
- Elle Woods.
- Data (The real issue: normalized gender bias).
- Quitting is not failure.
Here are the three takeaways:
1. We can’t have it all and trying to be perfect robs us of our happiness. Others that we think ‘have it all’ really don’t.
2. We can begin to change our lives by changing a few beliefs within ourselves. Be determined. Be ambitious. Believe in yourself and take chances, just like Elle Woods did!
3. Quitting is not failure but can be the only way to achieve success in the long term.
