Summary

Sometimes it can feel like we’re powerless to make change, so this week Hello Monday brings you stories of two women who did just that. Shelley Zalis, entrepreneur and the founder of The Female Quotient, was sick and tired of being the only woman in some very powerful rooms. She turned an invitation to the World Economic Forum into an opportunity to pass the mic to more women at Davos. Gina Glantz, veteran political strategist and founder of Gender Avenger, got fed up that there were never any women on stages at conferences at places like Harvard’s Kennedy School and CES. She came up with a quick and practical approach to changing that, and it’s working. Today, host Jessi Hempel talks to this dynamic duo about their independent work and their recent collaboration together. This episode is for anyone who’s looking for a dose of hope and a call to action.

this is Hello Monday. Several years ago, Shelley Zalis got an invitation. Shelley

was a proven entrepreneur. She built an online research company and she sold it.

And this invitation was to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

0:57.3

My invitation was as follows. We want you to come to the World Economic Forum,

1:03.1

but you might not feel welcome. That was my invitation. Now, why wouldn't she

1:08.8

feel welcome? Well, that was the World Economic Forum acknowledging what

1:13.4

everyone knew. Davos, as it's often called, it can be a boys club. Big time. And so,

1:20.2

of course, I, you know, had a choice. Don't go because that's not a very

welcoming invitation or do what I said, which was great. I'll come. And I

remember calling my girlfriend who was the Chief Operating Officer of Bloomberg.

World Economic Forum because I don't want to go by myself. Today's episode is
