My guest this week is Robbin Jorgensen, Founder and CEO of Women Igniting Change. She discusses how:
- “Listening tours” in Rwanda reveal inspiring women with resilience, innovation and creativity
- We need to work with men and change societal norms to create the opportunities for women
- Changing behaviours in companies is a systemic change that takes time and commitment
- Imposter syndrome is common among women and can be countered by solidary groups
- Men may need to “pipe down” sometimes to ensure that women’s voices are heard
