What Happens When AI Gets Women Wrong
When Chanel’s CEO, Leena Nair, asked an AI took to show an image of her leadership team, the result was all men in suits.
It’s wasn’t malicious. It was mathematical.
AI pulled from a world that still equates “leadership” with “male.”
But here’s the real story: this isn’t just about who appears in a photo. It’s about what happens when women’s presence, power, and potential are misrepresented, or misunderstood, by the very systems shaping our future.
Confidence Is No Longer The Currency…The Future-Ready Woman Will Own The Next Decade
For years, the conversation about women in leadership has revolved around confidence. Build it. Claim it. Speak up. Sit at the table. Raise your hand. And women did. Today, women are more confident, more qualified, more capable and more prepared than at any other moment in history.
Yet in rooms across the country, an uncomfortable new pattern is emerging: confidence isn’t translating into credibility at the level it should. Not because women aren’t capable, but because the credibility bar has quietly moved.
From Advice to Access…Why Sponsorship, Not Mentorship, Moves Women To The Summit
Early in my career, I watched brilliant women stall…not because they lacked skill, ambition or drive, but because no one with power was actively championing their next move. They had mentors who offered excellent advice, but when opportunities arose behind closed doors, their names weren’t in the room.
When Women Lead, Leadership Changes-The Multiplying Power Of a Female CEO
I’ve spent decades, watching how leadership dynamics shift when the right person, male or female, takes the top seat.
The data now confirms what experience whispers: when a woman steps in as CEO, the ripple isn’t subtle…it’s seismic.
According to Altrata’s 2025 report on U.S. corporate boards, companies with a female CEO average 39% women on their boards, compared to just 33.7% in companies with male CEOs. Senior leadership teams show a similar pattern…greater balance and depth at every level.
Will AI Widen The Leadership Gap For Women? Or Can We Change The Story?
AI is transforming our workplaces faster than we ever imagined. It’s reshaping how we work, who does the work and even the skills required to stay relevant.
For executive women and those aspiring to lead, AI isn’t just another tech trend…it’s a leadership issue. And one that comes with a critical risk: If we don’t act now, AI could shrink the leadership pipeline for women before it ever begins.
It’s All About Relationships
This past year, I have been featured on Fox Business News radio so many times and of course, I have my favorite stations and hosts. When I get my list of stations at 5am, I always look to see if I’ve been on their stations before and if we have a relationship built or if it’s […]

KRLD Radio – Iowa’s ‘too Attractive’ Case
What is your opinion about the Dental Assistant that lost her job after 10+ years because she was now too attractive and may have caused personal issues for the Dentist she worked for? The cause of firing was considered legal and not gender related….makes you scratch your head…here’s the interview I did with Scott West […]
The Breadwinner
There was a recent study about wives earning more than their husbands. If you are a husband, are you ok with this? If you are a wife, are you ok with this? What about the role reversal? I was interviewed on Michigan’s Morning News about this topic by Steve Gruber and Jo Anne Paul. Click on […]
Cover Girl
Someone asked me a question that I’m going to ask you. If you could be on the cover of any magazine, what would it be? I thought about different magazines and then started to divide them into categories. If I were younger maybe a Fitness magazine. If my family all lived under one roof, maybe a Family […]
The Best Label To Put On A Child
Recently I was asked to be on CW33 TV to talk about my favorite label for a child- “Kidpreneurs” (Check out the video here!) Imagine a child that has entrepreneurial tendencies and can monetize that? Pretty powerful I would say! I did a lot of research about how kids can make money and spoke to some “experts” in the field. I […]
What’s Your Personality Type?
The other day I was asked if I was available to respond to an article that would air on the radio…..If you’ve read my previous blog posts, you know my philosophy is to be prepared and accept the challenge. So of course I said “Yes!” without hesitation. One radio interview turned into 11 and it was […]
