October 2020

I am really confused about what to do this election? I don’t need advice about which candidate to vote for. Instead, I feel completely discouraged about voting at all. Does it really matter? I’m just one person and I know a bunch of people who aren’t voting, too. Any motivating advice? 

Is the pay gap a real thing? I got into a little debate with a co-worker who was telling me that the pay gap doesn’t exist anymore. I don’t think that’s true, and I’d love to hear your opinion. 

I’d like to start a diversity and inclusion committee at my company. The leadership team asked me to put together some points to prove that this is a worthwhile initiative. Can you share some key points I should include in my presentation? 

I am one of the only women in my department at work. I’m up for a promotion, but there is only one open position and I’m in the running against many men. I’m worried that I’m going to get overlooked for this opportunity. I know I’m not the only woman to experience this and I was wondering what I can do to get out of my head and into the boardroom?
