098. Unwritten Rules of Women's Leadership with Helen Appleby

💭 What are the unwritten rules of Women's Leadership?

After a successful career leading global businesses in the pharmaceutical industry, Helen Appleby is now an executive and leadership development coach who focuses on helping women. She's the Author of Unwritten Rules of Women’s Leadership, host of the Unwritten Rules podcast, and helps women navigate their careers and write their own rules of success. 

The pivotal moment in Helen’s career happened while being a stellar individual contributor to a billion-dollar global pharmaceutical company. She felt that she could be the bottleneck of a company’s growth unless she delegates and succeeds by leading others to do the work.

In this episode, Mick and Helen talk about how to advance more women in senior roles, create sponsorship opportunities, and avoid using “leaky language” through accountability. Helen shares the significance of overcoming the “good girl conditioning” by creating an awareness of gender discrimination in the workplace and making male colleagues in the workplace aware of how they can be true allies in the workplace.

🎧 Listen to this episode to learn more about the different unwritten rules of women’s leadership and how to create a speak-up culture so women feel safe to show up as their authentic selves in the workplace.
