Summary

Subtle gender discrimination at work, female guilt, and how to say no - these are the topics we discuss in this show, which I first released in the autumn of 2013. One guest is a young journalist who didn't even believe in gender discrimination until she was forced to recognize it. The other a seasoned businesswoman with distinct views on what it takes to get ahead, and good tips on how to get rid of guilt.

This time on the show, two perspectives on getting ahead at work.

1:07.3

The first comes from a generation-wide journalist

who thought she was doing all the right

We had never experienced anything that we thought to be remotely gender discrimination,

1:22.8

and so we couldn't even identify it when we saw it.

1:27.1

Then I talked to a seasoned business owner and financial Times columnist who has firm views on how to thrive at work, including learning how to say no and getting rid of guilt.

1:37.7

So every time you say yes to something, you are saying no to something else.

1:42.3

And therefore, saying yes to everything is only going to get you into hot water.

1:46.0

You're going to end up not doing the things that matter if you're not careful.
