Happy & Free Podcast

There’s no easy formula for getting ahead in your career. It can be a function of your experience, where you went to school, or your personality. But there’s evidence that shows moms, mentors, and learning to negotiate can be the big difference when it comes to women advancing in the workplace and in life.  Not all role models are created equal. Some may be sensitive to your background or wowed by your skills, but there's good evidence that shows a role model who looks like you could be the perfect mentorship to help you advance in your career. On this week's podcast, we continue our series with Harvard Business School professor Kathleen McGinn. Her tips may help you navigate through a competitive workplace environment. Happy & Free with Val and Dan is a weekly podcast that helps listeners tackle some of life’s challenges and aims to inspire with interesting personal stories.
