Covering topics such as setting boundaries and assertiveness, the panelists get candid about the workplace tightrope that many women have to walk. The discussion doesn’t stay theoretical either. Audience members describe being dismissed early in their careers, having friendliness misread as interest, and weighing whether escalating issues to HR helps or backfires. The panel doesn’t offer slogans; it offers tactics: how to slow down reactive emails without diluting your message, how to command respect through results and credibility, and how to set work-life boundaries in a world of nonstop pings.
