In 2023 the US saw an all-time high workforce participation rate for mothers with young children, as well as the narrowest gender gap for workforce participation in history. However, women remain underrepresented in leadership roles, but why? In this episode Emily and Anne discuss the part that existing job structures and parental expectations present that continues to create barriers for career growth. They talk about the current statistics around this continuing conversation and what we can do as female leaders to balance this always tipping scale between being a leader, being a mother, and being a wholly fulfilled individual, first and foremost.

About our Host
Emily Lint is a budding industry leader in the realm of business agility. Energetic and empathetic she leverages her knowledge of psychology, business, technology, and mindfulness to create a cocktail for success for her clients and peers. Her agile journey officially started in 2018 with a big move from Montana to New Mexico going from traditional ITSM and project management methodologies to becoming an agile to project management translator for a big government research laboratory. From then on she was hooked on this new way of working. The constant innovation, change, and retrospection cured her ever present craving to enable organizations to be better, do better, and provide an environment where her co-workers could thrive.
Since then she has started her own company and in partnership with ICON Agility Services serves, coaches, and trains clients of all industries in agile practices, methodologies, and most importantly, mindset.
