Has gender discrimination become more subtle? How do we balance stereotypes and expectations? Academics Connie Cárdenas and Celia de Anca discuss external and internal barriers, as well as the need to reframe the women’s agenda.

She is the author of Beyond Tribalism and co-author of the Managing Diversity in the Global Organization.
María Consuelo Cárdenas (Connie) is a professor at School of Management at Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia. She coordinates the university’s Gender Portfolio and has been a coordinator of the “Leadership and Feminine Awareness” program. She has chaired a research project about women in power positions (MEPLA) and presently carries out a seminar on this subject.
About the author
The IE Women Initiative flourished with the work of IE Faculty, researchers, student clubs, alumni and staff, to design the best possible tools to attract and retain women talent, especially in Business, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. IE and our Women Initiative’s goal is to inspire confidence and advance women along their pursuit of success. We believe that in order to empower women across the globe, the best way is through education. More women in the classroom means more women in top positions, as entrepreneurs and investors, and important decision-makers in the global sphere. If we can inspire this trend within IE, we can Pass it On to future generations. www.ie.edu/iewomen
