In this short monologue, Dr. Wayne Pernell reflects on the historically slow advancement of women into executive positions, noting that progress has been gradual despite increasing numbers of women on boards and in C‑suite roles. He criticizes the tendency of some male leaders to pat themselves on the back for merely having a woman in a leadership slot, framing it as tokenism rather than genuine inclusion. Pernell then highlights a bold tactic for women seeking visibility: the "skip‑level" approach, where a woman bypasses her direct manager to present her contributions directly to a higher‑level leader. This maneuver is portrayed as a courageous way to break through entrenched corporate culture and ensure her work is recognized.
