    In this short excerpt from The Purse Podcast interview with financial psychotherapist, Vicky Reynal we discuss the changing gender roles of women: ** “…How are gender roles evolving as a result of women earning more, inheriting more, owning more…?” ** Vicky’s response: "..Things are evolving, they are changing, but how much that translates into different dynamics within couples? It's slow. And I think many women… might have had the arguments with their partner at home around… why does the childcare and household responsibilities still default to her, even though they're both in full time employment? Despite having similar salaries, I might still see the man managing the investments and assets, and then the woman managing more the household and holiday budgets, for example. It is not an uncommon scenario, and it's taking time to shift because as humans, we default to what's familiar. And even if a part of us would rationally not agree with how we're handling things and would rationally think that yes, we should both manage investments and we should both equally contribute we default to what we know. And that's because many of us grew up in a ‘traditional model’; it is hard to fight against those tendencies and those stereotypes that we carry internally. "In Money On Your Mind", I talk about the paradigm of money equals power, and one couple in particular has gone to couples therapy, and the partner confesses that they feel entitled to less housework because they earn more money. But I have seen cases in which even when they earn the same or the woman earns even more, she's still burdened with those responsibilities. And so you can see that at one level, we believe one thing, but at another level, it's hard to apply it". ** “...And I can understand how we want to have harmonious relationships… but it becomes difficult if you really want…(something) to change and your partner won't let you…” ** Vicky’s response: "But I've heard many times women say: ‘oh, but you know, he takes charge of it. He doesn't let me do anything’. And I think in order to shift dynamics, we need to take some responsibility for are half of it, are half of the dynamic. And sometimes I challenge that a little and I say: 'well, when was the last time you asked to do more, or you took some initiative, or even tried, or even simply just brought it up that you think it should be balanced differently and you want to learn how to manage the investments'. And the answer is, often not. Often we sit comfortably and that dynamic on the one hand and then maybe complain about it on the other hand, but we haven't really taken the steps to allow it to shift..." ** “Right we haven't really done the work. So for example, I love this idea of a ‘money date’ with your partner and maybe suggesting a money date once a week initially..and you can decide what you cover… that's a positive step, isn't it?” Listen to the full interview on The Purse Podcast.

    In the first quarter of 2024, CEO appointments and departures worldwide reached a record high. There were 52 departures and 68 new appointments among corporations listed on global stock markets such as the FTSE 100 and S&P 500. But women CEOs are 4x as likely to leave their position in under a year. That's 24% of women CEOs leave within a year, (compared to 10% of men). (Data from Russell Reynolds Associates). Here's why: - Studies show that companies in turmoil are more likely to appoint women to leadership roles. This represents far more 'risk of failure' for women CEOs. -The board usually signals 'change' and 'transformation' to investors by hiring a woman CEO. But male CEOs are not labelled with the same. (LSE research) - Women face harsher scrutiny and criticism, with less support. Especially during a market downturn. -Women's authority is more likely to be undermined, because she challenges gender stereotypes. See "The Authority Gap" by Mary Ann Sieghart. -Senior level women are leaving due to micro-aggressions, promotion gaps and 'the burden of overseeing diversity and inclusion programmes'. (Leanin & McKinsey research). Listen to The Purse Podcast interview about Pink Chip with Grace O'Brien and Sam Rowlands from AKQA, where we discuss women in leadership and the "Glass Cliff". (See the link in the comments).
