1. What's Stopping Women Leaders? The Barriers We Set Up for Ourselves With Ellen Connelly Taaffe Elizabeth Bachman 28:44

Many women in business often set strict boundaries for themselves that hinder them from achieving their goals and becoming successful professionals. They fail to become great women leaders because they are trapped in society’s limiting idea that they should stay silent and be good girls. Ellen Connelly Taaffe, a clinical associate professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, is on a crusade to turn this belief around. Joining Elizabeth Bachman, she presents her book The Mirrored Door and how she guides talented women to break hidden barriers that stop them from being effective leaders. Ellen also talks about the dangers of perfectionism, social media pressure, fitting in, and unhealthy comparison.
