The talk, “The XX Factor,” examines this dichotomy through a multifaceted lens. It explores the current state of women in leadership and academia, emphasizing how progress in representation has been unevenly distributed across fields and geographies. Delving into the challenges women encounter—from structural biases and gendered expectations to subtle yet pervasive myths about competence and assertiveness—the presentation challenges prevailing narratives. In addition, it offers actionable strategies for women and organisations to navigate and transform these landscapes.
