In this episode, we have brought our colleagues who identify as women together to celebrate and reflect on International Women’s Day and what it means to be a woman in the workplace. You’ll hear about their backgrounds, how they got into the arts and eventually Ticketsolve. The panel talks candidly about the challenges they have faced in their own careers, breaking stereotypes, and what the future holds for women working not just in the arts but across every industry.

TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Career paths to the arts and ticketing and technology.
  • What are the stereotypes in the workplace and how do we break them?
  • What are experiences with traditional leadership styles (male vs. female)?
  • How female communication styles can impact perceptions.
  • The surprising facts of bullying in the workplace – and specifically in arts and culture.
  • How can we make small changes to help level the playing field and make work environments more inclusive.

THE ARTS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN PODCAST

It’s tough but rewarding working in the arts and often so busy you have little time to share with your peers and investigate new ideas.

Every few weeks, there will be ideas to try, practical tips, lots of learning and of course – lots of laughs.
