Navigating Bias and Pay Inequality

Unpacked with Ron Harvey

Do you ever wonder what it takes for a woman to rise from washing dishes to leading a company? Meet Cheryl Thompson, the powerhouse CEO of CADIA - the Center for Automotive Diversity, Inclusion, and Advancement, who is using her journey from the dishroom at Ford Motor Company to the boardroom as a beacon of hope for those who feel overlooked and undervalued in professional environments. Join us as she opens up about her personal experiences with bias, pay inequality and the hurdles women still encounter in their career progression.
In our enlightening conversation, Cheryl highlights the profound role mentorship and diversity played in her path to success. It's not about having a single guide, but rather forming a network of mentors, each resonating with different facets of our personality and goals. As a leader passionate about diversifying the workplace, she offers invaluable advice on harnessing listening skills to foster a more inclusive and vibrant professional atmosphere.
Transitioning into entrepreneurship, Cheryl recounts how she navigated this new landscape with transparency, creativity, and resilience. Her experiences, challenges, and rewards in entrepreneurship are sure to inspire those considering this path. To wrap up, Cheryl emphasizes how businesses can and should actively implement diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) strategies. Her mantra? Start before you're ready, ask for help, and dedicate time to self-reflection and growth. Get ready to be inspired, challenged, and empowered.
Note: Don't forget to check out CADIA if you're a company seeking to enhance your DEI strategy or if you're looking for assistance in personal career advancement.
