| 0:00.0 | Most of us want a workplace that's more equitable and have taken at least some action to create that. |
| 0:05.0 | And yet still there's so much complexity and work to be done. |
| 0:10.0 | On this episode, Lois Frankel and Tom Henschel both returned to the show to discuss the complexities of gender at work and call each of us to take the next step. |
| 0:20.0 | This is Coaching for Leaders, episode 392. |
| 0:23.2 | Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential. |
| 0:28.3 | Greetings to you from Orange County, California. This is coaching for leaders and I'm your |

| 1:45.0 | Bonnie and I went back and forth talked a little bit about it and one of the things I |
| 1:48.5 | mentioned to Bonnie is that last episode was by no means the end of the |
| 1:52.2 | conversation. In fact, just the beginning and I am glad to |
