Have you come face-to-face with any of the prevailing myths about women in the workplace?

Last month I interviewed Analiza Wolf, the author of The Myths of Success: A Woman of Color's Guide to Leadership. Analiza's book, and our conversation, focused on the myths we women, buy into that hinder our growth as leaders.

Not too long ago, I was listening to an episode on The McKinsey Podcast, produced by McKinsey & Company. The episode was titled Busting myths about women in the workplace.

Interesting. Not myths that we women hold about ourselves. Rather, the myths that are held about women in the workplace in general.

Then recently I came across an article by Gallup titled The Path to Gender Parity in Leadership, published March 8, 2024. This article complimented and added to the information shared on The McKinsey Podcast. I found the topic of myths about women all so fascinating that I wanted to share it with you.
