Breaking Barriers & Survival: Reaching the Top
summary
Panel recounts concrete wins and tactics: a 21‑member bipartisan glass‑ceiling commission produced policy work; someone shifts from chemist to CEO after an 18‑month IBM systems‑engineer push; one sponsorship call yields an immediate promotion; audience polls via text code 22333 surface confidence and network as top blockers. Practical tools: take the IAT implicit association test, reword “sorry” to “I am confident,” change posture, build advocates, use the four cores of credibility and align roles with purpose.
