These figures are quite shocking, although the message is not surprising to me. That's why men have an easier time building their career - because they routinely get more exposure via networking, after work drinks, golf etc. It's possible for women, but harder, to get the same level of attention.
Agreed, Lisa. It shows you how important it is to not just focus on your performance but on how you’re being perceived. As in: 90% important. So, what action would you take to improve the perception others have of you?
Great question - it’s why I started posting on LinkedIn. And I’d like to broaden my in-person network, too. In London would be better than here in Ljubljana. A lot depends on where I live next!
