Kelley spent 15 years in the sales arena before she decided to stop to prioritize herself and her health. She then took a sabbatical and started researching the problem of such leakage of high-potential females hitting the second glass ceiling in their careers.
Highlights:
- The five main buckets of challenges women are facing
- Access
- Overcoming Microaggressions in the Workplace
- Wage gap
- Flexibility
- Recognition- feeling valued
- Stepping up in other areas- Kelley's research confirms that as long as the women are seeing the men step up and take on some form of responsibility, then they are okay with still having the majority of the duties on them, and they are still happy.
- Financial Freedom- being able to retire, getting it all figured out like a path.
- Economic empowerment- making big girl money, controlling how you earn your money.
- Access Discrimination- not necessarily putting ourselves in situations or being tapped for opportunities that allow us to make big girl money or have control and clarity into what will make us economically empowered.
Do you have clarity on how you get to your goals? Are you in the right spot? What help would you need? A five-year plan does not have to be immediate. But you have got to make one. And that's where Kelley's company helps; they will help you create that plan and help you recognize which avenue you need to take and how to build that plan, so you have tangible activities.
