As a strong advocate for work-life balance and ensuring women have supportive work environments to help balance the challenges of parenthood, many of you may have wondered how I’ve been fairing during COVID-19 and my thoughts on the challenges faced for women in our...

Congratulations, you’ve managed another couple of weeks of social distancing, while, I’m sure, still struggling to find balance, have productive workdays, and spend time with your family. Today, I’m very excited to share my conversation with Cindy Wagman, President...
