Women at Work with Fexingo: Gender, Leadership, and Career Conversations for Women

Lucas and Luna tackle the complex landscape of gender, leadership, and career advancement for women in the workplace. Each episode centers on a specific issue — from the motherhood penalty and sponsorship gaps to negotiation tactics and inclusive leadership models — grounded in data from McKinsey's Women in the Workplace report, Pew Research, and named corporate case studies like Salesforce's pay equity audits or Unilever's parental leave policies. Lucas brings a journalist's rigor, questioning assumptions and citing research, while Luna challenges with on-the-ground realities from her experience mentoring mid-career women. Together, they dissect what works, what doesn't, and why. This isn't a cheerleading session; it's a clear-eyed look at the structural barriers and practical strategies for navigating them. Listeners will walk away with a specific framework for their next performance review, a script for asking for a promotion, or the research to build a business case for flexible work. Who is this for? Professional women at any stage who want substance over slogans — and the men who want to be better allies. What does it take to lead when the system isn't designed for you?
