Has anyone been able to successfully navigate "Bro" culture at the senior leader level? I'd love to see any honest training or resources. I work for an amazing ccompany, but my new leadership is horrible. I lead a very advanced team myself, and don't feel the support or vision I expect from a VP or SVP. Thank you in advance!

Hi Emily,
I appreciate that perspective, but this isn't the kind of thing you "confidence" your way out of. I actually chuckled a bit reading your response, because I am known for my confidence and have won leadership awards for my style -how I carry myself is not the problem. How a woman carries herself does not magically change toxic masculinity.

It'll be a long time before the fraternity is disbanded. There is no magic pill. I was fired from a pit fire of a company with a bruh mentality. It was a favor and yet so taxing emotionally that I am now medicating myself. I worked for the health and human services. You'd imagine them to be kinder.
