I find this interesting & troubling, especially in light of the post below ... https://lnkd.in/grdMgniH Ellen Voie testified as an expert witness for CRST The Transportation Solution, Inc. and one of their male trainers accused of sexual assault against a female trainee.

It is essential to increase the presence of women in leadership positions within the financial services sector.

Assumptions make an ass out of us . Wise words from a mentor. Sam and I created the leadership programme IMPACT: Women Who Lead because we want more women to be thriving in the work they do. We don't assume to know all the reasons why women decide to join our programme. So we ask them! These are some of the reasons women are joining our next cohort on 16th May. We have two places left. We would love to help you bust whatever assumptions you hold about your career, your worth, your leadership.
