TN253: Breaking the glass ceiling without being broken

By Amel Derragui | 03/07/2022 |

Most women are full or part-time caregivers. Their free labor allows organizations and businesses to be more effective, create value and increase profit. Financial vulnerability and dependence should not be their reward.

If you want to grow your business or take it to the next level but struggle to do so because you are a mother or a caregiver, and that prevents you in various ways from creating your own source of revenue, know that this challenge is part of a much bigger problem in our society.

However, there are things you can do about it at your own micro level to feel more empowered in your entrepreneurial journey.

“It is not only time for unpaid work to be recognized in our society, but also for players at all the levels of our society to share the ‘caring’ burden so that women can have the bandwidth to achieve their own dreams, create their own financial freedom and break the glass ceiling.”

In this episode, I want to share with you my take on this challenge and some inspiration to help you not only have the bandwidth to take your business seriously, but also be part of a movement to break the glass ceiling for women, without being broken.
