The $36 Billion Variable: What Body Image Is Really Costing Women at Work with Taryn Brumfitt

from FIRST MOVERS - In Conversation · host Yas London

What if the single biggest invisible barrier to women's performance at work has nothing to do with strategy, leadership, or culture? Taryn Brumfitt - 2023 Australian of the Year, founder of the Embrace Collective, and one of the world's leading voices on body image - calls it the hidden variable in performance. And it's costing Australian businesses $36 billion a year. In this episode, Yas London and Taryn go deep on why body image belongs in every workplace conversation - and what leaders, teams, and individuals can do right now to change it. You'll hear why women are turning off their cameras in meetings and what it's really costing them, the surprising link between height, salary and workplace bias, the simple Do-Ra! framework for taming self-doubt and backing yourself, and why every single one of Taryn's greatest career achievements - Harvard, the White House, 200 million people across 190 countries - happened only after she learned to embrace her body. If you've ever held back in a meeting, stayed quiet when you should have spoken up, or turned your camera off because of how you felt about yourself - this one's for you.
