Welcome to Working Girl, your safe space to talk about gender bias in the workplace. I'm your host, Rachel Mpala a.k.a. The Gender Bias Coach. After a decade of climbing the corporate ladder and a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears, I felt like I had finally, quote unquote, made it and achieved most of my career dreams. But when I looked back on the path it took to get there, and the ongoing cycle of burnout and breakdowns, I realized my journey to success had far too many obstacles that any working woman should have had to endure in this day and age. Basically, I'm a reformed girl boss who leaned in so hard, I toppled over. But then I got right back up, dusted myself off, and figured out a better way to define and create success. Now I provide transformational career mentoring for women ready to break through bias barriers, shatter stereotypes, and redefine success on their own terms. That's where Working Girl comes in. Join me as we embark on a journey to explore the nuanced challenges faced by working women everywhere. Through candid conversations and insightful interviews, we'll delve into the realities of gender bias in the workplace and uncover strategies for overcoming obstacles and thriving in your career.
