SXSW 2023

It's Really Really Really Lonely At The Top

Description:

You know the old adage, “It’s Lonely At The Top,” now Benenson Strategy Group, TheLi.st and Berlin Cameron—champions for women’s success—reveal research about just how lonely it is for female senior executives and founders—and the damage to their lives, and the lives of the people around them. Even before the pandemic, Loneliness was an epidemic on the scale of the Opioid Crisis, according to the US Surgeon General. But when it comes to successful, high-achieving women (who are often also the ONLY woman/woman of color at their level), Loneliness is doing even greater harm to their health, relationships and finances—and it trickles down to their businesses and employees. This session will offer insight and solutions.
