Ep XTRA 2 : Gender parity at work and home : a dialogue with Carla de la Vega
Description
This is the second edition of Money Majlis XTRA where we cover topics outside banking and finance. In today's exciting episode, we talk to Carla de la Vega, ex-CNN anchor, author and a strong advocate for women's empowerment, about the challenges and opportunities of achieving gender parity in the workplace and at home.
What are the biases men have about women? Why are only 10% Fortune 500 companies headed by women? Will it take us another 300 years to achieve gender equality?
In an uplifting conversation, Carla de la Vega argues with Suvo Sarkar that motherhood makes women more effective managers and that career-minded women should stay single unless they can find supportive partners to marry.
Carla talks about her transformative experience in Turkey, why she named her second book "Shakti" and where she gets her positive energy from.
