Benefits Think 5 ways female executives can avoid bias, advocate for workplace gender equality

Published 4 Min Read

Last week, I dropped off my two children at their respective schools. It was not unlike any other morning: I am in a suit, makeup and jewelry — possibly a bit more flare due to a stakeholders meeting at 9 a.m. — but nonetheless, I get “the question.” If you are a female executive with children, I am sure you know what is coming: “How do you do it? You always look so nice and put together.”

Well sister, the answer is simple: You just do it. You try and get enough sleep to get up and ready on time; you organize things so that everyone in the household owns their part of the morning routine. Most days it works, and some days it doesn’t.
