Ep 53 – How to Thrive in a Male Dominated Environment

Are you one of the few women in your organisation? Are you supported? Is there bias? Here’s how to thrive in a male dominated working environment…

In Episode 53, ‘How to Thrive in a Male Dominated Environment’, my guest Leslie Carver, HR Expert is sharing her insights and advice on this tricky topic.

 Here’s something that stood out for me in today’s episode:

“If you’re working in an environment that you’re miserable in, then it’s up to you to make a decision: should you stay, or is it time to move on? And remember: no decision is forever.” (Leslie Carver, Carver Connections, guest on Her Ambitious Career podcast)

 

In this episode, Leslie shares:

• The importance of transparency when posting internal job opportunities
• The value of having a career plan to help you regain control and direction in your career
• Getting a mentor or coach to support your journey and transition
• Advice on how to deal with discrimination, exclusion or sexism
