Click An Icon Below To Subscribe
This week, I sit down with former editor-in-chief of USA Today, and bestselling author of the pivotal book That's What She Said: What Men and Women Need To Know About Working Together. There’s no man-bashing here; rather we explore how men as well as women can join together to close the gender gap and how that’s intimately connected to wellness. Joanne Lipman and I candidly talk about hot button topics ranging from the current rising unemployment rate of women, especially women of color, as they balance work and homeschooling their children during the pandemic. We also discuss the surprising impact of stress in the workplace and what some companies are doing about it. This compelling conversation will open your eyes to real-world solutions and a practical path to a better future for everyone.
Joanne Lipman is the bestselling author of THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID: What Men Need to Know (and Women Need to Tell Them) About Working Together. One of the nation’s leading journalists, she most recently was Chief Content Officer of Gannett and Editor-in-Chief of USA TODAY and the USA TODAY NETWORK, comprising the flagship publication plus 109 local newspapers, totaling more than 3,000 journalists. Under her leadership, the Network earned three Pulitzer Prizes.
THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID is a New York Times Editors' Pick, a Washington Post Bestseller, and a Financial Times "best book" selection. It was also the inaugural pick of the World Economic Forum’s new book group.
