Let’s back up. Ernst & Young came under fire when it was reported they were running a leadership training course for female executives that sounded more 1950s than 2019. The above quote is a direct pull from the training course. And it’s just one of many jaw-dropping, head-scratching, table-flipping “tips” that the training passed off as helpful facts. A former coworker of mine approached me, appalled. She had an idea to take the 55-page presentation and format it in a way that was as demeaning as the content itself: a children’s ABC book. We created a digital book that summarizes the presentation in a fit of tongue-in-cheek glory.
This was purely a passion project, but it ignited meaningful conversations and was able to bring awareness to the backwards rhetoric that women still face in the workplace everyday.
Now, becoming a lady leader is as easy as ABC!
