*****************************

In this episode of the She Leads Now Podcast, we dive into the gritty reality of diversity and the challenges it presents in STEM and construction sectors with none other than Michelle Heyward, founder and CEO of Positive Hire.

Her journey, of being often the sole representation of diversity, is an eye-opening account of what it means to step into shoes rarely filled by underrepresented groups. Through her SaaS platform PH Balance, she offers a blueprint to engineering construction companies to retain and cultivate diversity within their workforce.

Listen in as we dissect the ominous glass cliff phenomenon—it's not mere management failure, but a pitfall intentionally set for underrepresented women. Connecting the dots between CEOs and their responsibility towards their employees, we dive into some honest and profound discussions on the need to engage with their employees. 

Key Takeaways:

• The need for self-awareness and bias identification among leaders
• The importance of engaging with employees and addressing their needs
• Insights on the glass cliff phenomenon and the importance of culture change in organizations
• Advice for individuals looking to advance their careers and for middle managers in creating sustainable and inclusive environments.
