Gen Y women breaking through glass ceiling
Olga Garcia, co-founder of Young Women's Roundtable
In today’s episode, Keeping Up with Gen Y talks to Olga Garcia, a dedicated and passionate Gen Y bilingual social media, marketing and public relations strategist, who, in 2009, co-founded with Julie Kreager the Young Women’s Roundtable.
When less than 20 women helm Fortune 500 companies in 2010, it’s clear that women still have a ways to go to reach full equality with their male counterparts in the business world. To assist Generation Y women in opening doors, the Young Women’s Roundtable provides young professional women with access to businesswomen of influence, meaningful like-minded peer-to-peer conversations, and leadership development opportunities to further their careers in the private sector.
But what specific actions can young women take to break through the status quo? Garcia talks about how Gen Y women can navigate the business world in preparation for a seat in the boardroom. She also predicts that Gen Y women will finally break through the glass ceiling, allowing them to fulfill those expectations fostered in college.
