Listen "145 — Women in learning special"
Episode Synopsis
According to research published this year, women fill 2/3s of all roles in learning and development - but only 1/3 of senior positions. Why is this? And what can we do to encourage and promote women in learning? This week, Ross G and podcast regular Gemma Towersey are joined by Sharon Claffey Kaliouby, Barbara Thompson and Kate Graham to discuss.
