From Entry to Executive: Cracking the Leadership Pipeline

In this episode of The FEW Collective, Forum of Executive Women Collective, hosts Candace Langston and Amy Cunningham discuss the challenges women face in progressing to leadership roles, despite strong early career starts. Using the metaphor of a leaky pipe, they highlight issues such as lack of mentorship and sponsorship, gender bias, and work-life integration struggles that cause many women to drop out of the leadership pipeline. The hosts encourage proactive steps like finding mentors and sponsors, seeking feedback, and speaking up in meetings to help women advance in their careers. The episode concludes with a promise to explore imposter syndrome in the next session.Find Amy Cunningham:www.linkedin.com/in/amy-cunningham-leadership-devFind Candace Langston:https://www.linkedin.com/in/candacelangston/Questions or comments, we'd love to hear from you...send us a text!To stay up to date with The FEW Collective Email us.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a rating and review on Apple or Spotify or where ever you get your podcasts.
