Menopause is a human issue. One set of humans experiences it, and it just seems incredibly important that all humans get it. This includes business leaders, as I discussed with Morra Aarons-Mele on a recent episode of her Anxious Achiever podcast, "Want to Run a Good Company? You Can't Ignore Menopause Anymore." Anything that significantly disrupts your work becomes a work issue, which is one of the main reasons I have been on a mission to encourage discussion of menopause with business leaders everywhere. Give it a listen and share it with your colleagues and friends.
Morra's book, The Anxious Achiever: Turn Your Biggest Fears into Your Leadership Superpower, was published by Harvard Business Review Press in April 2023. She recently won the 2023 Mental Health America Media Award. Also on the podcast was Amy Gallo, author of Getting Along: How to Work with Anyone (Even Difficult People), co-host of Women at Work podcast, and contributing editor at Harvard Business Review.
