Inclusivity, support, championing each other. These are things that today's guest believes it is vitally important for women to come together and do, especially with their professional peers. Gina and Rachel welcome Cara Kirsch, Area VP for Gallagher, a global leader in insurance, risk management, and consulting.  Cara shares her views on women in business and corporate settings and the unconscious gender bias that is still so prevalent in the workplace. And how women leaders are viewed and treated very differently than men. She also gives good advice on how to handle it, when you see or experience it. She also touches on subjects very dear to Rachel and Gina's heart, imposter syndrome, and the myth of work/life balance.  PLUS!
