How to Advance Women's Leadership in Male-Dominated Industries

Some of the fastest-growing industries are also the most male-dominated ones. And even when gender equality is prioritized, progress often tends to not be evenly spread, with barriers for women persisting in certain corporate functions. During this session, female leaders from various industries will address how they personally tackled stereotypes and share their solutions to questions like: How can you set realistic but ambitious targets for women's leadership when female workforce participation is extremely low? How do you ensure flexibility when working from home is not an option? How can you anticipate backlash and engage male leadership and colleagues in meaningful ways?
