The career story you hear is the edited one.
Titles and milestones tell you where someone arrived. They rarely tell you what it cost, who helped, what almost went differently, or which decision changed everything.
Beyond the Glass Ceiling is built for the unedited version—the conversations that help the next woman recognise her own path in someone else’s.
What We’ll
Talk About
The four threads running through every leadership story—explored through the people who lived them.
Breakthroughs
The moments and decisions that opened a door—and what made them possible.
Challenges
Bias, gaps, and barriers named honestly—and how they were navigated.
Decisions
The choices that shaped a career—including the ones that were hard to make.
Lessons
What they would tell the woman ten years behind them—and what they would do differently.
Know the moment
it goes live.
Join the WiLS community and we’ll let you know the moment the first conversation is released—along with everything else happening across our programs.
Have a story
worth telling?
We’re building our first slate of conversations. If your journey could help another woman see her own path more clearly, we’d like to hear from you.
Help us get
this made.
Organizations that want to advance representation across the life sciences supply chain can help bring these conversations to a wider audience.
Breaking the glass ceiling matters. But what we build after we break through matters even more.
