Why do so few women reach the highest levels of leadership? In this episode of Elevate, I sit down with Gill Whitty-Collins, author of the acclaimed book Why Men Win at Work, to explore this question and discuss her findings on the “Super 7 Percent Women” who make it to the C-suite. Gill shares powerful insights about what it takes for women to succeed at the top and why external support is non-negotiable for balancing professional and personal demands.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Who the "Super 7 Percent Women" are and the common traits they share.
• Why women in top leadership roles don’t attempt to manage both a high-powered career and household responsibilities alone.
• How support systems—from partners to professional services—are essential to success.
• Why trying to “do it all” is a myth and how it can harm your health and career.
• Practical steps for high-achieving women to create space for their goals without burnout.

Gill’s research offers an unfiltered and empowering perspective on what it truly takes to thrive at the top, making this episode a must-listen for ambitious professional women.
