"I didn't believe it."
This is the feedback a male executive at a large construction company shared with us after attending an Ambition Theory workshop last March.
But, after asking just a few women he worked with, he quickly realized their experience aligned with what he learned in the presentation.
His company had invested heavily in recruiting and hiring women and developed a mentorship program and an employee resource group. However, women still weren't advancing at the same rate as men.
He finally understood why. The women's leadership experience was entirely different from that of men in the industry.
