It's Time for Women to Step Up and Change the World

31 March 2011 | Linda Tarr-Whelan | No Comments

Welcome to the herBusiness program, where we interview inspiring businesswomen and entrepreneurs.

In this episode, we interview Linda Tarr-Whelan, author of Women Lead the Way: Your Guide to Stepping Up to Leadership and Changing the World. Linda served as Ambassador to the UN Commission on the Status of Women and has been named as one of the 50 most powerful women in Washington.

In this interview, we look at:

  • the myths about why more women aren't in leadership positions
  • the 30% solution
  • why it is important that the perception of women as being indecisive changes
  • the one area of leadership women trail behind men in
  • how we can support other women to step up to the challenge and become leaders
  • how businesses can benefit from harnessing an under-utilised and powerful resource: women

Enjoy this interview with Linda Tarr-Whelan.
