With 35 years of experience as a CEO, I’ve learned that our most precious resource is not capital, talent or technology — it’s time. It’s finite, irreplaceable and unequally distributed. And, ironically, it’s the very thing many of us feel we lack when trying to prioritize our he

In a turbulent economy with an uncertain job market, a career in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) remains one of the most reliable paths to a rich, rewarding career.

Carol Malnati believes organizations that leverage gender diversity out-perform and out-innovate. It was the 1980’s and few women ventured into the university’s engineering buildings – let alone declare it as a major. In fact, Carol was typically the only girl in her engineering classes. “That’s when it hit me,” she says. “I could either walk away and prove them right that I didn’t belong, or stick with it. At that point, I wanted to be someone that encouraged young women to get involved in math, science, and engineering.” Today, she’s doing just that.

That’s why today I am sharing this space with two extraordinary women, leadership and diversity expert Carol Seymour and Cargill’s Pilar Cruz.
