The Questions   

​

The podcast questions are a guide used during the interviews. I generally let the conversation take us in any direction.  

• Please give us a brief timeline of your career and what you are doing now?

• Is your career what you imagined you would be doing?

• What was your dream career when you were young?

• What forces influenced the paths you ultimately chose to pursue?

• What were the milestone or seminal moments in your career that gave you pause, shock or a desire for change or reflection.

• What's the riskiest or boldest career move you've made? How did you evaluate the risk/reward?

• How do you define success for yourself?

• If you've stumbled along the journey, how did you overcome it?​​

• How have you dealt with, or how would you recommend dealing with, instances of gender inequality in the workplace - whether blatant or subtle.

• How have you been treated by other women over the course of your career? Have those relationships been mostly supportive, competitive, both?

• If you stumbled along the way how did you overcome it. 

• Did you have a mentor? Who, why and how did they influence you?

• What advice would you give a young working woman for finding the right mentor?

• What differences have you found in working for a man vs. a woman?

• If you could go back and give yourself 2 key insights what would they be?

• What's one piece of advice you would give women who are currently moving into mid-senior roles in their respective fields?

• If you could have lunch with anyone alive or dead who would it be and why.
