THE WOMEN'S FUND OF MIAMI-DADE "VIRTUAL IMPACT COLLABORATIVE": Actionable Advice for Women: Machiavelli Meets Miami

Description

You deserve it! Make the time to join your Women’s Fund for an Economic Mobility pillar Impact Collaborative with NPR’s Stacey Vanek Smith, host of “The Indicator” and correspondent for “Planet Money.” Smith is the author of a new book for women seeking to advance in the workplace. She taps into advice from 16th-century philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli for tips on getting ahead and merges it with contemporary research and studies of how men and women are treated differently. Then she shares what we can do about it.

Referencing our Gender and Equity Dashboard, women’s earnings and labor force participation continue to lag. And according to Smith’s book, “Machiavelli For Women”:

• 80% of CEOs are men (for Fortune 500 companies, it’s more than 90%).
• Corporate Boards are more than 80% male.
• Women make about 80 cents for every dollar a man makes.
• Two-thirds of federal judges are male.
• 75% of elected representatives are men.
• Women start 40% of the businesses in the country, but 98% of venture capital goes to men.
• Join your Women’s Fund virtually via Zoom Webinar on Thursday, March 2, from 9:00 am- 10:00 am as we bring Machiavelli to Miami to discuss and learn how women can defend their worth, grow their ambition and win in the workplace!
