Avivah Wittenberg-Cox is an award winning and best-selling author, teacher and leading expert on gender balance.  She began her career in computer programming, a male dominated industry. In 1996, she set up a women\u2019s network (PWNGlobal.net) to support women in business and discovered that if you put 30 women in a room together, they\u2019ll support and empower each other.  However, companies were failing to facilitate women\u2019s newfound confidence and instead, were blocking their growth and had no idea why or how to change.  Avivah found her purpose helping companies adapt leadership, cultures and systems to 21st century talent and customers. Balance isn\u2019t a women\u2019s issue, it\u2019s a business issue and the fact is that gender balanced businesses perform better.  Named in ELLE magazine as one of the TOP 40 Women Leading Change and  celebrated by PWN Global with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Gender Balanced Leadership, Avivah continues to help companies around the world achieve success through improving gender balance.   What You Will Hear in This Episode:  The parallel approach of empowering women and empowering leaders.
