Betsy Myers, former White House official who served both Clinton and Obama administrations, reveals why women still can't break through to top leadership roles despite decades of progress. From being "completely over her head" as Obama's campaign COO to founding the Center for Women at Bentley University, Betsy shares the strategic mindset shifts that separate women who plateau from those who rise to the top.
She's a Harvard leadership expert who discovered the critical difference between mentors and sponsors, why 70% of successful women feel like frauds, and the "sticky floor" behaviors that keep women stuck. Betsy has spent 30+ years studying women's advancement, authored "Take the Lead," and now works with eXp Realty's Women's Impact Network helping female entrepreneurs rewrite the rules of success.
