While having a serious female contender for President is certainly a sign of changing times, the facts are that women still remain largely underrepresented in the “C Suites” and key

area of challenge and the gender divide remains quite wide. On this episode of Diversity Matters™, Sheila Robinson, Founder and Publisher of Diversity Woman magazine – a new resource for
“women who mean business” and Tanya Odom a Global Diversity and Inclusion consultant at the FutureWork Institute and columnist for Diversity Woman Magazine join co-hosts Richard Friend

homogeneity, whether you’re talking about citizens in a democracy, scientists in a laboratory or co-workers on a team. On this episode of Diversity Matters™ Scott Page joins co-hosts
Richard Friend and Judy Seidenstein to discuss HOW diversity produces organizational strength and examine implications for businesses, schools and policies such as affirmative action and standardized
testing.
