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.

Chuck Hayes, VP of Everything Else at SageGlass a Saint-Gobain company, shares the journey and motivation that led this startup company to drive for gender equity. It was simple, according to Chuck, “We needed the BEST People!” SageGlass is a STEM business with a high-tech manufactured product and they have gone from 7% to 33% women in 7 short years. An incredible leap for a high-tech startup company that was also acquired and is powered by Saint Gobain. In this session, Chuck discusses the drivers, the implementation, and the actions they have taken. It is an amazing story with some phenomenal results. One of their groups, an R&D organization was able to achieve gender parity! And what’s more, this group is delivering some serious innovation results. In 2019 they exceeded the number of patents they filed in the previous year. And, get this, they are already on track to exceed the 2019 results in 2020, in spite of the corona virus!
Perhaps one of the most amazing results came when they unleashed their R&D leader into an executive role and asked her to take the lead on their Covid-19 planning. She made a most amazing discovery, that will, no doubt, be putting them ahead of their competition. It may indeed be greatly beneficial to you as well!
