Are you an up & coming professional aspiring to become a better leader?
Join Working Women for a series of leadership exchanges designed specifically for young professionals looking to take their career to the next level. Facilitator Silvana Capaldi will lead a monthly roundtable discussion on topics aimed at educating and empowering women to become powerful leaders in their workplace and in the community.
This month's topic:
When it comes to women, money is a taboo subject. 4 out of 5 women don't talk about money. Research by Fidelity Investments showed that 80 percent of women say they purposefully shy away from discussing money with family and friends.
This is a costly mistake. Consider these statistics:
- Women's earnings average $0.79 for every $1.00 earned by men, which equates to a lifetime loss of over $300,000,
- The gap is even worse at the top: In the top 1 percent of earners, women are paid $0.46 on the dollar,
- According to a new report by the National Partnership for Women & Families, this wage gap is responsible for women in the U.S. losing out on $500 billion per year.
Most women and men want to see this change. It's time to put money where your mouth is and get rid of the wage gap. We need to be willing to talk about money; one women, one conversation, one group discussion at a time, we can shift the culture.
