About this episode
In this episode I share observations and insights based on data collected by evolutionary psychologist, Stephen Stewart-Williams, on work preferences between men and women. This research is important because it negates the big narrative that says women are behind men in prestige and financial gain because of biases and barriers against them. The data tells a different story. It’s much more to do with women’s actual preferences versus what they say they want. Listen in to learn about what men and women value most when it comes to work, a simple way to think about a woman’s hormone cycle, what makes work fulfilling, and much more.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - 02:37 Men and women see work differently02:37 - 02:53 Stephen Stewart WIlliams02:54 - 03:24 Work with me one on one03:25 - 04:13 Men and women as complementary vs competitive04:13 - 05:58 Understanding gender roles and balance05:58 - 07:47 Key insights and reflections07:47 - 10:05 Evolution of modern work and purpose10:05 - 12:22 Redefining meaning in work and identity12:22 - 14:30 What makes work enjoyable14:30 - 16:36 Women’s perspectives and real-life stories16:36 - 18:46 Picking up motivation and direction18:46 - 21:10 Cultural pressures and gender expectations21:10 - 23:40 How life and community have changed23:40 - 25:39 Final thoughts and reflections___________________________
