https://www.sherylkline.com/blog/retaining-top-female-talent-interview-with-kristin-crossman
In this episode, I am SO excited to speak with Kristin Crossman, a seasoned expert in human capital management.
Kristin shares her journey, inspired by her father’s career at IBM, and her experiences at K2, a company with a significant female workforce. We discuss the importance of retaining top female talent, emphasizing the visibility of female leaders and flexible policies.
Kristin highlights the value of investing in oneself and nurturing relationships, especially in challenging economic times.
One of the most compelling points Kristen made was the significance of visible female leadership within organizations. The concept of "if you can see her, you can be her" underscores the importance of having female leaders at the highest levels. This visibility not only inspires emerging female leaders but also demonstrates that it is possible to balance professional success with personal responsibilities.
Key Takeaways
Leadership and Gender Equality at K2 (00:00:59) The positive impact of gender diversity and the inclusive culture at K2.
The Power of Curiosity and Asking Questions (00:05:42) The importance of being curious and seeking guidance in unfamiliar situations.
Retaining Top Female Talent (00:13:28) The significance of diversity and the consequences of not retaining top female talent for the bottom line.
Adapting to a Changing Economy (00:15:38) The importance of adaptability and nurturing relationships in a disruptive economy.
Investing in Self-Growth (00:17:32) Encouraging women to invest in themselves and stay connected in their professional growth.
If I can help you or your team in any way via coaching, speaking, training, or enterprise digital curriculum, let’s connect!
Cheering you on always,
- Sheryl
