Inspired by the book of the same name, this show focuses on how to fully utilize women and men in the workforce to improve innovation, growth, and engagement. Learn to leverage gender differences and open meaningful conversations at work to inspire change by sharing success secrets. Our goal is to offer a forum where companies share what they are doing to make the invisible visible, enhance the understanding of the skills that women bring, and adjust their cultures to put everyone on a more equal playing field. This podcast is about success stories, because while writing book, I found piles of failures. The world was lacking success stories and I know we must publicize these. I am also not looking for picture perfect. I would prefer that we tell the real story. Not everything you try the first time works. Sometimes, it blows up in your face. And back to the drawing board you go, trying again. These stories can be vital to those who are trying something for the first time.

Scott Beth, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer of Intuit, started his career in finance and procurement but says this position is the best job of his life. In this interview Scott shares some interesting research. 61% of people hide some part of themselves from those they work with and it takes a tremendous toll in terms of energy and time. Scott notes that straight white men are not immune, 45% of them report “Covering” at work too. This is one of the human impacts of not being inclusive and it is a huge drain on people and productivity. Intuit has an interesting innovation model and he applied it to the Diversity and Inclusion role when he stepped into it allowing him to partner company statistics with real stories of people’s experience. Intuit leadership team sets the “Tone at the Top,” with monthly metric reviews of where they stand. 1/3 of the Board of Directors, 1/3 of the executives, and 1/2 of the CEOs staff are women. Their percentage of women technologists has risen to 30% during Scott’s tenure.
