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.

Tracy Stone, the Global Leader of Tech Women @ Intuit, has an enviable job. She is responsible for an organization whose sole purpose is to attract, recruit, train, and advance women technologists. Note that this is not her “side” job in addition to her day job. Her strategic organization reports into the Chief Technology Officer. They have already accomplished a lot including pay equity for women on a world-wide basis. Tracy’s organization also runs their 500 person strong mentoring program, a returnship program which was started in India then transported back to the US. They encourage their women technologists to grow and last year had more than 15 speakers at the Grace Hoper Conference. To ensure the Tech pipeline stays full, they team up with Girls Who Code and host a summer immersion program to expose high school girls to tech and inspire them to pursue STEM careers. They are not stopping there, either. They are partners with NCWIT to understand the ties between influence and innovation. They are trying to understand how influence impacts innovation in companies and what can be done to ensure that all employees get heard and influence the direction of innovation.
