Lois and I are thrilled with the response you’ve given us to our request for help to gather information about the global “state of affairs” for women working in organizations. While we’ll write more when all the responses have been collected and analyzed,  today we wanted to share one data point with you.

We asked the question, “In your organization, to what degree do you  think gender impacts women who wish to climb the corporate ladder?”

So, if you think that the fact that you’re a woman makes things more challenging at work, you’re not alone! And it means that you should subscribe to the The Thin Pink Line and tell others about it too.

If you haven’t done so yet, we hope you’ll help us by completing the survey and then sending it along to your friends. The survey will take no more than 15 minutes to complete.  Although we value everyone’s opinion, if you are self-employed we ask that you not complete this survey. We look forward to getting your input for our next project!

To thank you for your participation in the survey, we will enter the name of each person who completes the survey into a drawing to win a complimentary one hour coaching session with one of us. Thanks in advance for your help!

Carol Frohlinger and Lois Frankel
