“As Sallie explains in our interview for my podcast, Radiate: “For some reason, particularly young women, when I talk about [networking], they say, ‘Well, that’s cheating. I want to do this on my own. I don’t want to do it through my contacts and connections … You would be shocked by the number who say that … I’m like, ‘Well, how do you think the guys are doing it?’””—Inc.com: The Surprising Thing That’s Holding Young Women Back In Their Careers

Why Men Have More Help Getting to the C-Suitehbr.org

Women:

  • Be aware of the fact that there is an economic imperative underlying the sponsor relationship.
  • Make future promises to your sponsors, even if it means stretching outside of your comfort zone. Be a little Machiavellian.
  • Ask for what you need to get the promotion, key account, more pay, and so on. Men ask for what they need, women should too.

Men:

  • Don’t overlook qualified women for promotions. Just because they haven’t ask for a promotion, doesn’t mean they are not interested in it.
  • Be aware that the myths about why women aren’t in more leadership positions are just that: myths. Rigorous, peer-reviewed research debunks these myths.
  • Sponsoring women can yield an economic benefit in the longer run—even if it’s not explicitly communicated. Women tend to reward loyal relationships.

Can Women Build A Better Tinder? — Backchannelmedium.com

I could go on and on, but it would be a struggle for me to think of even one female name to add to that list; after all, less than 5 percent of venture capital funding goes to women. But with these online dating innovations, the tech industry just might realize what they’ve long been ignoring: women’s experiences matter, too.

“Yes. What else is there to be? Everything else is being an asshole. These are your choices. I have three sisters, and no brothers. In my family it is all women, and they are very strong, opinionated, professional women, and the idea that they would be in some way disadvantaged by comparison to men was just ludicrous, and if you had tried to suggest it to them you’d have got hit. So I learned it early.”—Salman Rushdie, in 15 Famous Men on Whether or Not They’re Feminists

How Close Are We To Closing the Gender Gap? This Map Will Tell Youmotherboard.vice.com

On the top end of the spectrum, you can see where mostly Iceland, Finland, and other Nordic countries are doing, you’ll see the same thing across the board: plenty of women in technical jobs, more women going to college than men (interestingly, the scale says this makes it look like this is more equal), and incomes are largely on par compared to the rest of the countries.

But despite this rosy picture in the North, the WEF notes that women worldwide are still facing a major equality crisis—despite 250 million women entering the workforce over the past 9 years, the average woman makes what the average man did 9 years ago. From 2006-2015 average global earnings went from up from $6,000 a year for women and $11,000 a year for men to $11,000 for women and $21,000 for men.

“Watermark – a leading Bay Area executive women’s organization – collaborated with the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to launch the Watermark Index. Using data from its 2015-16 UC Davis Study of California Women Business Leaders, the UC Davis Graduate School of Management analyzed the 223 largest public companies headquartered in the Bay Area and found that in 11 (4.9 percent) of the companies, women hold 30 percent or more of the top-five compensated executive positions and board seats.”—The Watermark Index, by Watermark – only 11 of 223 Bay Area companies have 30% women or more in board positions, long way to go.

“The accumulation of these slights suggests that even the world’s best female economists are given second billing too often. And none of this is intended to impugn the motives of any economic commentator. Rather, I suspect that there’s a simple unconscious bias at work here. Close your eyes for a moment, and picture an economist. Odds are you pictured a man. (Chances are, he was also white, most likely middle-aged, and probably fairly confident.) This same reflex makes it easier to recall those who fit this pre-conceived idea of what an economist looks like.”—The New York Times: Even famous female economists get no respect

“

Speaking at the Fortune Global Forum earlier this week, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff revealed that he spent about $3 million this year to bring the salaries of female employees up to the level of their male counterparts.

“We can say we pay women the same that we pay men—we looked at every single salary,” said Benioff.

While $3 million may seem like chump change for a company that’s currently worth nearly $52 billion, Benioff’s willingness to put his—or rather, Salesforce’s—money where his mouth is champions the fight for pay equity. Indeed, even as companies have become more open about their diversity gaps—with many now releasing annual data about how many women and minorities they employ—their gender pay gaps, for the most part, remain shrouded in mystery.
