Why can't women make it to the top, still? #women #womenleadership #genderequality #equality
Since Sheryl Sandberg gave her famous Ted talk “Why we have too few women leaders” a decade ago, the American workplace has made significant improvement on the topic of gender equality. For example,
1. Many companies remove gender as a hiring signal when evaluating candidates
2. Employers regularly check the wage gap between male and female to ensure equal pay for equal work
3. We have tried our best to set similar parental or caregiver leave policies for male and female
Fast forward 10 years. Despite that 60% of junior managers and 40% of middle managers are female today, merely 20% of senior managers and 7% of CEOs are female in 2020.
What are we missing?
Anthony Divento, one of the best female allyship advocates I know, explained it well. “Showing up as an ally to women isn’t a 9-to-5 responsibility that ends when you close your laptop. Countless studies show that women with male partners bear a disproportionately high amount of childcare and household work at home. It’s essential that men show up at work - AND at home - to promote greater gender equity.”
The missing puzzle is “equal partner at home”.
Nowadays, women are still expected to take on 2x more housework and 3x more childcare responsibilities than men. We still only see women in the grocery store commercials. Men are still “babysitting” the kids.
In this week’s video, Anthony and I are going to dive deep into the topic of “True allyship starts at home”. You will have the rare opportunity to hear the male perspective on gender equality from Anthony. He will not only talk about the root causes of the imbalanced responsibility between men and women at home, but also share his recommendation to both men and women on how to build more equal partnerships.

Thank you so much for sharing, Elena! really like your idea that to share our work is important: limiting beliefs could prohibit from advocating for ourself and gaining the visibility we deserve.
How did you afford to pay for the tuition? The student loan only provides $20,500 every two semesters which is ~30k per year.
not true, you can loan the full amount

Hii Elena Chen, is there a possibility to get into Stanford gsb without any work experience?
从大舅过来的，我觉得你特别适合做青年创业导师，面向高中、大学生开设创业指导课。
I'm looking at wanting to get my MBA with the goal of getting a job as a directors of operations. I havent seen a lot of information about people getting their MBA to go into this field and its making me wonder if applying to Stanford is worth it given my career goal. Any tips of how to make sure you pick the right program for what you want to do?
Thank you for this! I've been struggling hard figuring out what makes me unique since all the essays I've read so far involve people who have done these amazing things like starting non-profits, traveling the world helping under privileged communities, etc. It's refreshing to see an example that doesnt make me feel like applying to Stanford seems impossible. Thank you! <3
Love the Ray Dalio Principles book on top of the pile :)
Hii mam,I'm a student currently pursuing my second bachelors in a humanities. I'm also planning to do an MBA from top 10 US b.schools. But I wonder my low GPA in 1st undergrad might hurt my chances. So can I just hide my 1st degree and only mention 2nd undergrad in my mba application. Is it safe to hide certain educational information from the admission committee & what can happen if committee find it after I get an admitted. I know it's bit amature but still shouldn't it be on me to put my best on the table
This really helps and lightens up my day. Thank you so much.
Letting someone at the same rank level as you evaluating you is never good. If possible dont ever let people evaluate you with subjective concepts. It leads to gaslighting and bullying. This person who proposed the idea is a manipulator. You were deceived. There is no cultural difference that impacted your grades. This was just a lie. Stay away from him.
Very inspiring! Thank you
Thank you for keeping it real, Elena. Your story is so inspiring
I am glad that you find it helpful!
Thank you for sharing this! Very authentic and inspiring stories!
This video is really inspiring, thanks for sharing!
Appreciate it!
Wondering whether equity is included as it’s important in tech
Thanks for your question. Yes, equity is included in the comps data shown in this video.
Really informative and insightful breakdown! I know you are from GSB but would love to hear your thoughts on regular mba from a non-ivy league school, and how that impacts career trajectory. Maybe a topic for another video! Interesting to see how even GSB and HBS are in almost every regard.
Elena, I recently found you via linkedin, and your videos have been invaluable. I cant believe you dont have more subs! Thank you for sharing these tips and frameworks. You have earned another sub and follower!
Thank you for recognizing Nikhil! Feel free to share about what kind of content you would like to see more in the future and would love to constantly iterate my channel to make it better.

#7 mba == unreliable lol
Lol, I like how you say “tell me about your life. Who the hell do you think you are”. Good one!
I am not able to find ‘Touchy Freely’ as a class in the continuing studies link though… Is that class no longer available or could that come back anytime likely?
Here is the course registration link: continuingstudies.stanford.edu/courses/professional-and-personal-development/building-interpersonal-skills-an-experiential-workshop/20214_COM-19. It's full for the summer quarter but you can join waitlist and get notified for the fall quarter.
+100 for authenticity leading to perfect answer.
Absolutely. Telling your own story is the best strategy!
