Why women sabotage other women with Jennifer Hicks
Show Notes
Jennifer Hicks is the Director of Client & Business Development at Capital Fund Law Group. She speaks about transitioning from her role as a police officer to working in corporate. She is also a strong champion of women and specifically addresses why women sabotaging other women.
When she first started her career as a police officer, she was treated with a lot of respect. But when she moved into another department, she experienced harassment and discrimination. She finally spoke out, filed a complaint and managed to restore her reputation. But she was emotionally broken.
She left law enforcement and started a new adventure as an administrative assistant at Capital Fund Law Group and quickly climbed the ladder to her current position as Director of Client & Business Development. She saw many similarities between how women were perceived in the corporate world and how they were perceived in law enforcement. But a particular event in the corporate world started her thinking about why some women sabotage others. As she puts it: ‘I don't want them to have to go through the vile, awful things and business that some women have had to go through, just to understand how corporate works, and to network and to get ahead doesn't mean having to do things that are against your character’.
As a result, she put together a group of women to talk through why some women are sabotaging others and to help women in corporate like. As she says, you always have a choice: stop it, be complicit or be the perpetrator.
