Janine Matho: for women, career drop off happens right away, in the first 2 - 3 years of work

November 11, 2022 • Dr Becky Sage and Amy Armstrong

McKinsey's Women in the Workforce 2022 report confirms that the "broken rung" of the career ladder for women remains at the first step up to manager. For every 100 men promoted to their first manager role, only 87 women are promoted, and only 82 women of colour are promoted.

In this episode, Dr Becky Sage and Amy Armstrong hear from Janine Matho, about how she is leading ExponentialChangemakers to address this critical gender gap. It is a special episode for us, not only because this is an issue close to our hearts, but also because Becky is one of Janine's co-founders.

ExponentialChangemakers is the only global private membership network focused on connecting and supporting women in the first 10 years of their careers.

We discuss:

The scale and impact of the career dropoff for so many women;
Why this may be happening and how it can be addressed;
How important it is to make your strengths visible to both yourself and your employers;
The power of intent for both career design and life design.

Reflecting on Janine's transition from high-flying corporate leader to early-stage founder, we note:

The difference between intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship;
How to survive corporate burnout; and
The necessity of transitioning to new ways of working in order to drive business growth from a pre-seed pilot to seed capital and beyond.

Are you an entrepreneur who started their career in the corporate sector? Have you experienced burnout? Or perhaps you struggle to identify and communicate your strengths, or are a woman early in your career rethinking your career ambitions. We would love to hear from you.
