In 2019, women earn .79 cents for every dollar a man makes. Though we can attribute the gender pay gap to several factors including occupational segregation, bias against working mothers, and circumstances like racial bias, disability, and access to education, there's no denying numbers and that we still have a lot of work to do to create an even playing field. On today's episode, I am thrilled to have a woman and mother who has been an advocate for closing the gender gap throughout her career. Reshma Saujani is the Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, the international nonprofit organization working to close the gender gap in tech and change the image of what a computer programmer looks like and does. It has reached 185,000 girls in all 50 states, Canada, and the UK. In 2019, Girls Who Code was awarded Most Innovative Non-Profit by Fast Company. Reshma is the author of the international bestseller Brave, Not Perfect and has a podcast with the same name and the New York Times bestseller Girls Who Code: Learn to Code and Change the World. Reshma's TED talk, “Teach girls, bravery not perfection,” has more than four million views and has sparked a worldwide conversation about how we're raising our girls. She began her career as an attorney and activist. In 2010, she surged onto the political scene as the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress. During the race, she visited local schools and saw the gender gap in computing classes firsthand, which led her to start Girls Who Code. She is a graduate of the University of Illinois, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, and Yale Law. Her work on behalf of young women has earned her broad recognition on lists including: Fortune World's Greatest Leaders; Fortune 40 Under 40; WSJ Magazine Innovator of the Year; Forbes Most Powerful Women Changing the World; and Fast Company 100 Most Creative People, among others. She lives in New York City with her husband, Nihal, their son, Shaan, and bulldog, Stanley.

In this episode of “B The Way Forward,” host Brenda Darden Wilkerson is joined by Girls Who Code CEO, Tarika Barrett. Tarika took over the helm at Girls Who Code in 2021 and has been the driving force behind the nonprofit that aims to close the gender gap in technology careers by inspiring, educating and equipping students with computing skills to take on 21st century opportunities. Since Girls Who Code was launched in 2012, they have reached over 600,000 young people with their educational programming - and Tarika is continuing to expand that reach. A proud daughter of Jamaican immigrants, Tarika's mother instilled values of equality and positive change in her life. Since then, Tarika's career has been dedicated to addressing education inequities, in terms of race, gender, and socioeconomic status. Brenda and Tarika discuss the importance of diversity in the tech space and why giving equal representation inspires the next generation to see themselves in the tech industry, too. With women comprising only roughly 25 percent of computing roles, and Black and Latinx women just a little over 5 percent of that, Tarika and Girls Who Code are working to change those statistics. “When we see our women, our girls, our people of color seek out tech jobs, they become the creators and the change makers. They can advocate for the kinds of tech that keeps our needs and our safety and our interests top of mind.” For more, check out Tarika and her work...

Dondra Ritzenthaler is the senior vice president of sales, trade support and services for the Americas at Celebrity Cruises, where she's been for almost 20 years (after spending more than 20 years working for American Airlines).

Welcome back, Brave Table fam. I'm so excited to share with you today this powerful conversation with Reshma Saujani, Founder of the Marshall Plan for Moms, Girls Who Code, and Author of Brave, Not Perfect. She also just dropped her latest book,' Pay Up: The Future of Women in Work, And Why It's Not What You Think'. 'Pay Up...' is about the big lie we've been told about corporate feminism, why we need to ditch ‘Lean In' culture, and fiercely and actively champion gender equality in the workplace. Reshma has spent more than a decade fighting for women and girls' economic empowerment. She also ran for Congress back in the day, where she learned about how the system is rigged against women from the top down. But it was when she became a mom herself and covid hit that things really started to shift for her, as she saw all the working mamas around her (herself included) burn out. As Reshma says, “Moms don't break, but moms right now feel like they're broken.” The workplace hasn't traditionally been empathetic towards women and mothers, and there's no doubting that this has been heightened over the past two years. Being a mom is something a lot of us feel unconscious shame around—announcing our pregnancy at the last possible minute so we don't mess up promotion opportunities, apologizing for our kids yelling in the background on Zoom, and basically ‘hiding our motherhood'. But mamas and ladies, there is hope for a better future. Reshma says that right now, we have the opportunity to make women and moms feel like they matter. The US is seeing one of the biggest job booms in recent history, and CEOs are desperate. You have the chance to say “I'll do this on my terms” and create lasting change in the workforce that doesn't require you to choose between motherhood and your career. To change the narrative, we have to change the patriarchal structures currently in place at the top. For example, how many of you have a paid leave structure and childcare, or as a business owner, do you have this for your team members? If you're lucky enough to feel well-supported in these areas, then I invite you to think of the moms and women in your life, your fellow sisters, who might be struggling. Share this conversation with them as your way of saying “I see you” and inspire hope in them that real change is happening. Some of the juicy nuggets you'll get out of this episode: - What is the Marshall Plan for moms and how to start investing in economic recovery and empowerment for women - How to build the muscle of asking for what you need in order to thrive - Why it's not your job to fix or mother your partner, but rather to figure out what you need for you - Coping with guilt and shame surrounding what we see about motherhood on social media - How building the workplace for the most vulnerable ends up building it in the most supportive way for everybody - Looking at toxic masculinity, changing our preconceived ideas around gender roles, and encouraging corporate policies that encourage men to take paid leave - The 4 forces of change, and the practical tips they offer that you can apply today - How to bring up the gender gap with your partner and set tangible boundaries around co-parenting - Releasing perfection as moms and learning how to “mother out loud” and mother authentically If you loved this episode, make sure you check out… - Reshma's website https://reshmasaujani.com/, where you can grab your copies of Pay Up and Brave, Not Perfect https://reshmasaujani.com/books/ - Her work on the Marshall Plan for Moms at https://marshallplanformoms.com/ - Find her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/reshmasaujani/ and follow Girls Who Code here https://www.instagram.com/girlswhocode/ - Listen to my journey with motherhood here https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/being-brave-in-reinventing-yourself/id1608226580?i=1000551014551 - My conversation with Ajit on fatherhood https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ajit-nawalkha-part-2-on-parenthood-and-being-a-father/id1608226580?i=1000551026806 I hope this conversation empowered you to be an agent of change for what's happening to women in the workplace and the gender gap in our society.

Have you ever had an experience that gave you absolute clarity? A "something's gotta change" kind of moment where you knew deep down in your being that you must make a shift?I had one. At 25 I had a quarter-life crisis and drastically changed my life as a result. I'm here right now writing these show notes in large part because of the decisions I made during that time to follow the calling that was on my heart. Today I open up and share what that process looked like (hint: it took a lot of time, dedication, and determination - but it was 100% worth the work!) and how I'm systematically dismantling my tendencies towards perfectionism and instead am choosing to embrace courage and bravery, not perfection at all costs.I also share a mini Book Report focused on Reshma Saujani's Brave Not Perfect, a book that put simply has changed my life. I hope it's as impactful for you to learn about as it was for me to read! Looking for more resources mentioned in today's episode?

Girls tend to be raised to be perfect. Girlals tend to be raise as they are fragile this protecting them even from crisiticism. What we need to teach girls is to be brave and do what they want to do. It's not about portraying to be perfect, or else it becomes exhausting to maintain.
In this episode, we talk to Reshma Saujani, the Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, a national non-profit organization working to close the gender gap in computer science and technology. We learn what inspired her new book, 'Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder' and why it's so important to take chances, embrace the unknown, and unlearn perfectionism. As Reshma says, "we need to start doing things we suck at", like going to a dance class for fun even when we know we're going to be the worst one in there, in order to learn to embrace imperfection and failure. She believes that by gaining resilience and making bravery a lifelong habit, we will lead much happier and more fulfilled lives. **** Thanks to our sponsor of this episode! --> Magic Spoon: try a variety pack and get free shipping by visiting magicspoon.com/ntm. --> BetterHelp: get 10% off your first month of online counseling if there are issues that are interfering with your happiness or preventing you from achieving your goals by visiting betterhelp.com/nobody. --> AirMedCare: If you're ever in need of emergency medical transport, AirMedCare Network provides members with world class air transport services to the nearest appropriate hospital with no out of pocket expenses.

Reshma Saujani is the daughter of immigrant parents and a Yale Law school graduate. She became the first Indian-American woman to run for Congress, in what was touted as a hotly-contested race, where she was endorsed by the New York Observer and the Daily News and featured on the cover of the New York Times and the Washington Post. She then lost spectacularly, picked herself up and went on to found Girls Who Code, a non-profit organisation which aims to close the gender gap in technology and has so far taught 100,000 girls to code. Reshma’s new book Brave, Not Perfect, looks at the ways that boys and girls are raised and argues women and girls should embrace imperfection and bravery.

Reshma Saujani, founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, has run for office twice and failed. But exercising her bravery muscle led her to create a nonprofit that's reached 300,000 girls with its computer education programs and message of sisterhood. By fearing less, failing more, and living bolder, Reshma believes we can reach for the things that we want, and ultimately, find more joy. We talk about how we are raised to be perfect, the importance of resilience and how we can start to be brave and live a joyful life.
Reshma Saujani, Founder and CEO of GirlsWhoCode, and host of the "Brave Not Perfect" podcast, talks about ‘unlearning perfectionism’ as adults, letting people "see the mess" of our lives during the pandemic, and how technology can create opportunities for young women of all backgrounds, especially those from underrepresented communities.
Where along the way did we trade in our confidence and courage for approval and acceptance? And why? That’s the question Reshma Saujani challenges us with in her book Brave, Not Perfect. Reshma is the founder & CEO of Girls Who Code, an international nonprofit working to close the gender gap in technology and change the image of what a programmer looks like and does. Her TED Talk, “Teach girls bravery, not perfection,” has been viewed more than 4 million times and sparked a worldwide conversation about how we’re raising our girls. On this episode, we talk about how to fear less, fail more and live boldly.

In 2019, women earn .79 cents for every dollar a man makes. Though we can attribute the gender pay gap to several factors including occupational segregation, bias against working mothers, and circumstances like racial bias, disability, and access to education, there’s no denying numbers and that we still have a lot of work to do to create an even playing field. On today’s episode, I am thrilled to have a woman and mother who has been an advocate for closing the gender gap throughout her career. Reshma Saujani is the Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, the international nonprofit organization working to close the gender gap in tech and change the image of what a computer programmer looks like and does. It has reached 185,000 girls in all 50 states, Canada, and the UK. In 2019, Girls Who Code was awarded Most Innovative Non-Profit by Fast Company. Reshma is the author of the international bestseller Brave, Not Perfect and has a podcast with the same name and the New York Times bestseller Girls Who Code: Learn to Code and Change the World. Reshma’s TED talk, “Teach girls, bravery not perfection,” has more than four million views and has sparked a worldwide conversation about how we’re raising our girls. She began her career as an attorney and activist. In 2010, she surged onto the political scene as the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress. During the race, she visited local schools and saw the gender gap in computing classes firsthand, which led her to start Girls Who Code. She is a graduate of the University of Illinois, Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and Yale Law. Her work on behalf of young women has earned her broad recognition on lists including: Fortune World’s Greatest Leaders; Fortune 40 Under 40; WSJ Magazine Innovator of the Year; Forbes Most Powerful Women Changing the World; and Fast Company 100 Most Creative People, among others. She lives in New York City with her husband, Nihal, their son, Shaan, and bulldog, Stanley.

No se puede emprender sin apoyo - emocional, en la casa, con la familia. Para mi mi roca, mi tierra, mi estabilidad y mi lucesita es mi pareja, Andrés. En esta entrevista les contamos cómo se formó nuestra familia multicultural, los retos de la crianza y de la vida de emprendimiento. Este es un episodio muy especial porque festejamos los 100 episodios de Negocios Entre Pañales... ¡y así fue que lo convencí! Creo que en los otros 99 episodios nunca había estado tan nerviosa, emocionada y feliz al mismo tiempo. Para intentar hacerlo como hago el resto de las entrevistas, yo grabé en mi closet (como siempre) y él en el estudio. El libro del que hablamos TANTO fue "Brave Not Perfect" de Reshma Saujani.

In today's episode I interview Virginie Hélias, the chief sustainability officer of the consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble, about her leadership journey and the principles that she lives by. Eight years ago Virginie decided that she was going to make sustainability her job. Two weeks after making this decision she wrote a job description for a corporate sustainability role and booked a 20-minute meetings with the CEO in Cincinnati. The rest, as they say, is history, or in this case her story. In this interview, recorded in June 2019 she shares her story, and how being clear on what you want, being brave not perfect and being prepared are 3 of the key leadership principles that have enabled her to succeed in work and life.

In today’s culture, having compassion for ourselves isn’t always the number one priority. Instead, we are constantly hearing the message that we should be hard and critical on ourselves. In this episode, I’m talking with Julie Allen. Julie is a mom based out of Portland, Oregan to a busy toddler aged son and a young step daughter. She started Mary Rose North West Boutique because she recognized the need for a clothing boutique that focused on body positivity, self-love/acceptance, and helping women feel confident in their clothes. Her goal is to carry pieces that help women feel just as beautiful as they truly are. Julie struggled with anorexia and bulimia for 15 years and has made it her mission to empower women to love themselves and embrace themselves whole-heartedly. In addition to her body positive boutique, Julie also created the Mary Rose Foundation, a non-profit 501c3 organization designed to help women who are struggling with the financial burdens of an eating disorder. Julie's message is simply one of strength, courage, self-compassion and most of all, hope. We are talking about how having compassion for yourself can help you approach your life in a way that is empowering. Today we are sharing: Julie’s top three lessons that she has learned as a mom entrepreneur Practical ways to show yourself compassion Tips for building your bravery muscle Links mentioned in the episode: “Brave Not Perfect” by Reshma Saujani : https://amzn.com/1524762334 Episode 1: Welcome to the Podcast - https://cassierighter.com/2019/06/30/episode-01-welcome-to-the-podcast/ Connect with Julie www.maryrosenwboutique.com Join the VIB group on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/maryrosenwboutique/ Instagram: instagram.com/maryrosenwboutique/ Connect with Cassie Find out more at: www.cassierighter.com Join me in my FREE Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/moms.making.an.impact/ Connect with me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/moms.making.an.impact/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/cassierighter/

Girls are socialized to avoid risk and failure, while boys are expected and rewarded for taking risks and being brave. This leads to a world full of women who are paralyzed by perfectionism, unable to take steps outside our comfort zones, tamping down our dreams. In this episode, I talk to Reshma Saujani, CEO of Girls Who Code and author of Brave Not Perfect, about how to cultivate our bravery. Some big takeaways from this episode include: 1. We can get confused between things that we’re good at and things we like. 2. Our fears of girls getting hurt can lead them to limit themselves later on. 3. We need to slow down and give kids time to figure things out themselves. Reshma Saujani is the author of the international bestseller Brave, Not Perfect and the New York Times Bestseller Girls Who Code: Learn to Code and Change the World. She is the founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, the international nonprofit organization working to close the gender gap in technology while teaching girls confidence and bravery through coding.

Imagine if you lived without the fear of not being good enough. If you didn't care how your life looked on Instagram, or worry about what total strangers thought of you. Imagine if you could let go of the guilt, and stop beating yourself up for tiny mistakes. What if, in every decision you faced, you took the bolder path? That’s the mission of our latest guest, Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code and author of Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder. Too many of us feel crushed under the weight of our own expectations. We run ourselves ragged trying to please everyone, all the time. We lose sleep ruminating about whether we may have offended someone, pass up opportunities that take us out of our comfort zones, and avoid rejection at all costs. There's a reason we act this way, Saujani says. “As girls, we were taught to play it safe. Well-meaning parents and teachers praised us for being quiet and polite, urged us to be careful so we didn't get hurt, and steered us to activities at which we could shine.” By choosing bravery over perfection, girls can find the power to claim their voice, to leave behind what makes them unhappy, and go for the things they genuinely, passionately want. In Brave, Not Perfect, Saujani shares powerful insights and practices to help us let go of our need for perfection and make bravery a lifelong habit. By being brave, not perfect, we can all become the authors of our biggest, boldest, and most joyful life. Have a money question? Email me here. Please leave us a rating or review in Apple Podcasts.

Join host Cyrus Webb for Conversations LIVE when he welcomes author Reshma Saujani to the show to discuss her new book BRAVE NOT PERFECT.
A couple of years ago, Senator Elizabeth Warren made headlines with the phrase “nevertheless she persisted.” Sheryl Sandberg told women they had to “lean in.” These approaches, while certainly valuable for dealing with the symptoms of the problems that many girls and women face, ignores the core of why these actions might, in fact, be necessary. Men, for the most part, don't have to make the effort to persist or to lean in, because they are socialized from the beginning to do that. To be fearless, to be disruptive, to be brave. Reshma Saujani, a graduate of Harvard and Yale law school and former NY City public advocate, is the founder of Girls Who Code. Her organization has made remarkable inroads in bringing more girls and women into STEM and technology. But even more than just changing the gender make up of tech, she has seen coding as a kind of metaphor for teaching women to be brave. Her Ted talk on the subject has gotten over 4 million views and now she’s expanded on it in her new book Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder My conversation with Reshma Saujani:
Colleen landed a new job with M12—the team that manages Microsoft’s corporate venture fund. Sonia interviews Alice Chen and Jasmine Ong of Arise Seattle, an organization that aspires to see a world where more Asian women are leaders in their careers. Our hosts interview the Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, Reshma Saujani, about her book Brave, Not Perfect. Colleen and Sonia wrap with a conversation about The New York Times Magazine feature, The Secret History of Women in Coding.
Reshma Saujani is a lawyer, a former political candidate, an author and the founder of Girls Who Code. She says our society puts too much pressure on women to be perfect, which means girls are afraid to explore their true passions for fear of failure. She’s hoping to change that, and to teach girls that it’s okay to try something that you might not succeed at.
Reshma Saujani committed her first act of bravery at the age of 33 when she ran for political office in New York. She lost – badly. Instead of being defeated by it, she was set free… she discovered her bravery muscle and started to exercise it more. For example, she set up an NGO about coding when she knew nothing about start-ups – or coding. Girls Who Code is a US non-profit organization working to close the gender gap in technology and change the image of what a programmer looks like. Reshma’s TED talk, "Teach girls, bravery not perfection," has more than four million views and sparked a national conversation about how we’re raising our girls. This led her to write her 3rd book "Brave, Not Perfect" During our chat we discussed society’s impact on girls and what we could do differently. I asked Reshma for practical tools on how we ourselves could be braver. In fact, this was a great follow-on to the last When Women Win episode with Najla Al Midfa, which explored resilience: how can you build resilience unless you’re allowed to fail? And finally, we talked about coding and how it cultivates bravery in girls and gives them permission to be less than perfect.

How many of us go crazy trying to do it all, and do it all perfectly? How many obsess over tiny errors and avoid taking on big opportunities or challenges for fear of failing or embarrassing ourselves? Why is failure, big or small, not seen as a viable option for so many of us? Girls Who Code CEO Reshma Saujani's popular TED Talk called for the need to teach bravery, not perfection, especially for women constantly finding themselves under enormous amounts of pressure to perform. In her new book, Brave, Not Perfect, Saujani asks us to rethink what our goals are supposed to look like and instead live life boldly, assuring us that it is more powerful to find something unexpected in the mistakes than it is to play it safe. Join us as Saujani offers stories from other brave women, shares best practices for making bravery the new standard for women across the country and details her own journey in getting there. *This program contains explicit language* Learn more about your ad choices.
