We know women are underrepresented in positions of power. Some of us get there and some well deserving women do not. Holly Kasnetz is doing her PhD work on understanding what contributes to women getting a seat at “the big boy table.” She looks beyond the resume to the persona – the attributes successful women possess or develop that allows them to navigate the dynamics of male dominated organizations. Come learn what she is discovering in her research. What holds us back? What helps us succeed?

Please join us for our next Issues Exploration Event – We’ll be discussing the book “Groundbreakers, Rule-breakers & Rebels – 50 Unstoppable St. Louis Women.” In the book, author Katie J. Moon tells the stories of fifty female pioneers with ties to St. Louis. Whether world-famous or not, each of the trailblazing women in this book faced a host of specific obstacles and restrictions in their chosen fields that existed solely because of their gender. Their victories were all hard won and well earned.
