Not a pipeline problem; we have a listening problem

How well are women and communities of color being represented in financial services? And how many brilliant ideas don’t get the opportunities they deserve because we are not listening to all the voices? Many people assume that we have a pipeline problem, that there are no women or prominent female leaders in financial services. But that cannot be further from the truth. We don’t have a pipeline problem; rather, we have a listening problem. In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Sonya Dreizler and Liv Gagnon, founders of Choir, who are on a mission to change whom the finance industry listens to. You can’t be what you can’t see. Together, we can help change the status quo, one conference at a time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
