âOrganizations have come a long way when it comes to recognizing and attempting to stamp out gender bias. But gender bias stubbornly persists and women still face substantial hurdles when trying to succeed professionally,â note Amy Diehl, PhD, and Leanne M Dzubinski, PhD, the authors of the brilliant book âGlass Walls: Shattering the Six Barriers Still Holding Women Back at Workâ which released in June this year. This is a subject close to our hearts here, and we are thrilled to have both Amy and Leanne on our podcast this episode!
âGlass Wallsâ is a culmination of extensive original research by the authors who reveal the six barriers still holding women back through stories of prominent and everyday women. They explain how you can shatter these barriers to eliminate bias in your workplace, whether you are a leader, an ally or an individual woman. Above all, they argue gender bias is not the problem of the person suffering it, but rather an organizational problem.
Amy is an award-winning information technology leader and gender equity researcher based in Pennsylvania. Leanne is Professor of Leadership at Asbury Seminary in Kentucky.
In this incisive conversation with the authors, Vinay finds more about the book, its genesis, and insights on the cause and effect of gender biases and what organizations and leaders can do to help eliminate gender bias.

In one of our most exciting conversations yet, Vinay traces the inspiring story behind the sustainably thriving community in the scenic fishing village of Pemuteran on the island of Bali, Indonesia â and the sustainability warrior who started it all. Meet Australian-born Chris Brown who was the first to see the potential of diving in the Pemuteran area. After starting the Reef Seen Diversâ Resort back in 1992, he began working to support and educate the local communities to better understand the need and ways to protect the local marine environment from the destructive bombing, cyanide fishing and other activities. In 1994, Chris started the Turtle Project of Pemuteran which works to protect the wild turtle population and to stop, or at least diminish, the worthless slaughtering of turtles. The project hatchery has released several thousands of turtles (juveniles and adults) into the ocean over the years. Chris has also started other projects including the Reef Seen Dancers, a Balinese dance troupe, and the Reef Gardeners which works towards conservation of the areaâs coral reefs.
