Congratulations!



Congratulations to Danica Patrick for breaking the glass ceiling in Indy Racing. After 70 races, she achieved her first Indy win in Japan last weekend and became the first woman to win a major auto racing event.

I read an article that said that there are only 12 female CEOs (2.4%) of Fortune 500 companies. Is there still sexism in business?

I had a conversation this evening with a friend who thinks that sexism is no longer the problem it once was. Although I know there has been progress in the last 30 years, I have seen my clients come across roadblocks in hiring, instituting changes in operations, and securing promotions based on what they believe is sexism. What do you think?
