Drew Turner, Millennial, joins Yo to discuss the McKinsey Women in the Workplace 2024 – the 10th Anniversary Report.
Drew began her leadership journey in retail at Williams Sonoma, eventually transitioning into Learning and Development at Tesla. She’s passionate about helping women break free from societal expectations and step confidently into leadership roles. Her vision is a world where women lead boldly and empathetically, breaking barriers for future generations.
Drew is also Yo’s Chi Omega Fraternity sister and when they attended The Nancy Walton Laurie Leadership Institute, Yo knew she’d offer all of us rich leadership insights.
Topics Covered:
Women representation at C-suite positions Barriers women face in the pipeline Reaching gender parity Making career changes Kinds of training and education needed Micro aggressions
3 Episode Takeaways
1. While women make up 29% of C-suite (2015 it was 17%) it will take 22 years for white women to reach parity - and even longer for women with color.
2. The Broken Rung disconnect is about the lack of women moving into the manager level: For every 100 men, 81 women are promoted to manager (as of 2024). Another finding: women are no more optimistic than in the past.
3. It’s good to remember that we can give ourselves permission to change it up by listening to ourselves and our intuition. All the experiences we have come along with us in making a career change.
