Episode Details

Why do so many highly successful women still question whether they deserve to lead? In this bite-sized conversation, Paul is joined by Dr. Liz DuBois to explore the hidden beliefs and social conditioning that can hold women back from fully embracing leadership, ambition and power. They discuss why boys and girls are often taught very different lessons about confidence and leadership, the pressure on women to be collaborative and consensus-driven, and why failure can carry very different consequences for women and men. Using Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton as an example, Paul and Liz explore power dynamics, gender and public judgment, before looking at the relatively recent history of women’s financial independence and how generations of limited access to money, property and positions of influence may still shape how women see themselves today.
