Anne Tomkinson and I have been hosting the #HRWonderWomen podcast for a little over a year, 14 episodes. Lots of learning and a lot of missteps, but hopefully we are better women, better feminists for the work. The learning will never be done.
One of my favorite parts of #HRSocialHour is when we talk movies, music & TV and it has become a favorite part of #HRWonderWomen as we focus specifically on women in movies, music & fictional characters. Anne and I have started talking about adjusting the questions a bit, so I thought this would be a good time to highlight what has been shared with us so far & I hope you will check out these recommendations.
