Business strategist and founding partner at Flynn Heath Holt Leadership (FHHL), and co-author of straight talking and empowering book Break Your Own Rules: How to Change the Patterns of Thinking that Block Women's Paths to Power, Jill Flynn, describes why there are so few women in C-level positions. Despite great strides made in diversity, women are underrepresented in the executive suite, Jill Flynn points out that women run companies are more profitable meaning that businesses are missing out on great leadership. Jill shares the six faulty assumptions, often mistakenly considered rules, followed by women that stand in their way. Jill provides advice and strategies for changing those assumptions to new ways of acting that will help more women achieve C-level positions. Jill Flynn is firm in her conviction that by changing the old rules to new ones will place women in 30 percent of leadership roles within a decade.
