"Don't be afraid to make a mistake." - Lisa Bowman When employees experience toxic culture and harassment at work, it's often swept under the rug Not today. My special guest is Lisa Bowman, author of Harrasshole: A Cautionary Tale of My Time at America's Favorite Charity. Lisa bravely shares her story of being an award-winning Chief Marketing Officer in a highly dysfunctional workplace. It takes a lot of courage to call out this type of BS publicly, and Lisa is not afraid to lay it on the line. I hope this episode may help others who are experiencing the same thing right now. Thank you Lisa for reaching out and having this conversation. Why people don't speak up about workplace harassment What I realized is that when you step up and make some noise about harassment in your workplace, you become the problem. 75% of people that report harassment in the workplace are also subjected to retaliation in the workplace. And that's why people do not come forward, that's why they don't speak up. Are women supporting other women in the workplace? Women are talking about supporting women, but they are violating the code of sisterhood because they do not pay attention and they look the other way when something was happening. And I guarantee you that these women are mentors, champions and sponsors of women's advocacies and resource groups in the workplace. But when they are informed about a problem at an organization, they completely ignore it. Why some people do not take up the cause and push it forward There is still today a shortage of women and women of color in the C-Suite. So if one woman falls just because they spoke out about harassment, there's a whole line of women behind them waiting to take that seat. Because of self-preservation, women in higher positions are not willing to take that risk of losing their job to stand up for others, and for me, that's the wrong thing to do.

Gretchen Carlson is mother to two children, a journalist, author, Ted Talk alum, and a fierce, fearless internationally recognized advocate for women's rights. She started her journalism career as a political reporter in Richmond, Virginia and worked her way up through local newsrooms in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Dallas before moving to national news in 2000 as co-host and corespondent for CBS's The Saturday Early Show. In 2005, Gretchen joined Fox News, where she co-hosted the number one cable morning news show, Fox and Friends, for more than seven years. Gretchen's catalog of interviews included every US president, vice president, and presidential candidate, as well as hundreds of leaders in business entertainment and politics. Yet, it was her groundbreaking 2016 sexual harassment lawsuit against Roger Ailes, Chairman of Fox News, alleging she had been fired from her show for refusing his sexual advances that made Gretchen the face of workplace harassment, inaugurated her work to support survivors and hold predators accountable that led her to being named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World. Gretchen is also the author of two books, the New York Times bestseller, Be Fierce: Stop Harassment and Take Your Power Back and Getting Real. She recently co-founded the nonprofit Lift Our Voices to end the silencing of harassment victims through forced arbitration and nondisclosure agreements. She joins us on Parenting for the Future to discuss her experiences and her work, and how we parents can create a future world where our children do not live in fear of sexual predators and sexual harassment.
Every night her mother put her to bed, telling her she could be anything she wanted as long as she was willing to work hard for it. That support created a girl who knew how to stand up and speak for herself—even in grammar school when she was put into the wrong (remedial) reading group; speaking up got her moved. So when the former Stanford grad, Miss America and CBS and Fox anchor found herself suing her boss for sexual harassment, it was that “ability to know I worked very hard that carried me through it.” Listen to CoveyClub founder Lesley Jane Seymour’s intimate discussion with the woman who gave others the guts to launch a thousand #MeToo lawsuits. Carlson explains why making the leap over 50 made it even harder to reinvent and offers solutions beginning with the observation that "women need to stop being so damn nice.” Episode notes: Help Gretchen keep the pressure on members of congress for passage of the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Harassment Act of 2017 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/2203/cosponsors) by writing or calling your member of congress to get him/her to sign on. (Arbitration is what keeps harassment secret and abusers in power).
