TrailBlazers Impact Interviews is a program to guide you along the path as you start a new business or face challenges in your life or need a minute to relax a bit and listen to a story. Some days you want an uplifting, happy story. Some days you just want to survive. You wonder if anyone has ever faced what you are going through. Many of them - of us - have faced major obstacles and somehow have come out the other side on that issue. But we all still struggle every day. By sharing our experiences, we can bond together in a tribe that supports each other. By reaching out our hand to the next person and saying, "I'm here. I'll listen," we know we are OK because we are together.  

In TrailBlazers Impact Interviews, women and men share their secrets to success - and their heartaches -  in extraordinary stories. And some had very rough beginnings - but made it anyway. These stories touch your heart and soul and make you realize it is possible to prevail even in the face of gender bias and/or racial discrimination and to blaze your own trail when there is no clear path ahead. If they can do it, so can you . . . by following their light . . . and then creating a light for the person behind you. 

 If you are over 50 and want to pivot from a career or retirement to start a business, watch our new series, Pivot to SOAR, and look for my "how-to" book coming out soon!

Ep. 201 - Gill Whitty Collins spent 26 years with Procter & Gamble (P&G), latterly as Senior Vice President, running leading global brands such as Olay, Always, and Pantene. What Gill has experienced, witnessed, and learned about gender equality as a woman in senior management will resonate with people, whatever their gender, wherever they are working. She now does consulting, coaching, and workshops to drive gender equality and diversity as a key lever to build stronger businesses and stronger societies. Listen in to learn why you need to leave the inequality umbrella as a woman and make yourself and your work visible and known. You will also learn why we need to join together and support each other as women to bring equality into the business world and at the workplace.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why you shouldn’t care much about being likable as a woman at the workplace
  • How to make our unconscious behaviors conscious to start on the path of inequality elimination
  • Learn to recognize your strengths in the male-dominated culture and show up with genuine confidence
  • Why you should commit to teaching younger women about equality as an older woman
