Invisible Obstacles, Unstoppable Women Leaders

Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | RSS

In this conversation, Claire Peet discusses the challenges women leaders face in international education. We explore how common leadership terms like 'imposter syndrome' and 'perfectionism' have become problematic labels that can be used against women leaders. Claire shares powerful insights about the double bind women face - being criticised both for adopting and rejecting traditional leadership traits.

We discuss the different ways men and women process feedback, illustrated through her compelling 'A-game' story about how a simple comment can trigger very different responses based on gender. Claire reminds us of the importance of creating conditions where women leaders can bring their authentic selves to work, and the need for both male and female leaders to play active roles in changing leadership culture.
