Culture, Women, and Leadership

In this episode of Culture Talks, Heather and Shaila are joined by Crown Group CEO, Jennifer Harvey, and Director of Account Management, APAC and Consulting Lead at Crown World Mobility, Caitlin Pyett, to discuss the impact culture has on women - particularly women in leadership positions. Two different women, two different approaches, yet one question to consider as you listen: who's journey do you most resonate with?

This special marks the end of the first series of Culture Talks.

A Culture Talks special: Culture and friendship

Jo Latimer as they explore why our answer to this question matters to individuals and companies. They look at the culture of being you; your norms, your values, your behaviors - the things that build up your identity, drawing on examples of relocating partners whose lives are most impacted by relocation.
