Welcome, michelle king. Author of the fix. Guest hi. Thank you for having me. Host its a pleasure to have you here. This is such an important book because its not just about the problems that women face in the workplace. Its so focused on solutions, and i love your key insight which is that we tend to give advice to women, a lot of books and con friends for women, telling them what they need to do and how they need to change. We need to lean in, we need negotiate more, and if were too nice well never get the corner office. What you point out is the truth is that women actually dont need fixing. Were not the ones that are broken. What is broken is the workplace, and as we know, workplaces were designed by men, for men, when women try to act like men, it has not work out very well for us. And i love how you put it. You say we need to call a timeout on the women fixing epidemic. And as you point out, of course, michelle, gender equality is not just about women.
