Leadership Masterclass - Diversity with Eugina Jordan

Hello All,

In this episode of leadership masterclass, I speak with Eugina Jordan, a champion for diversity and the voice of women in leadership.

- In her early days, when she attended the MWC conference, what shocked her was a lack of waiting line in the women's restroom which made her realize there are so few women in tech/leadership roles and also made her write the book "UNLIMITED"

- Depending on the size of the organization, it is good to setup an exclusive Diversity office under Chief People officer ; For smaller organizations, make every leader accountable for diversity by setting clear goals.

-  There definitely exists a system (a biased one) which does not favor the under represented. The only way to overcome this is through persuasion and grit.

- Women need to build their confidence and go after every coveted job and leadership roles

- Instead of asking women to "Lean In", why dont we ask men to "Lean out" and sponsor a women for leadership roles?

- Women need to understand that building a career takes the support of a village - Network, Community, Family and friends. Lean on them to grow in your career.

- Find mentors and sponsors actively instead of waiting for the diversity office to find sponsors for you!

This and a lot more in this episode. And do not forget to check out on her book "Unlimited" which is topping the charts in Amazon and is already a best seller!
