Machiavelli for Women and Winning the Workplace with Stacey Vanek Smith

Episode 238

There's no denying the gender pay gap. Since 2000, the gender pay gap has held steady at about 20% despite all strides towards equality. Is the glass ceiling still holding strong? This week, host Elisa is joined by Stacey Vanek Smith, co-host of NPR's The Indicator from Planet Money, and author of Machiavelli for Women. Stacey brings with her a wealth of data and workplace knowledge, from how to get your opinions heard in a meeting to navigating the most complex of power dynamics. How are women perceived differently than men? And through a national security lens, how critical is it to have diverse voices at the forefront of decision making?
