"Nobody's coming on a white horse," says LaTonya Howell, HR executive and founder of Coach Her Life Consulting, in this eye-opening conversation about the realities women face in today's workplace. Drawing from her 16+ years of human resources experience and personal journey from foster care to executive leadership, LaTonya offers practical wisdom that cuts through corporate jargon to address real challenges. The workplace is evolving rapidly, with artificial intelligence transforming everything from hiring practices to skill development. While AI creates exciting opportunities, LaTonya cautions about potential biases: "Generative AI is only as good as the information you feed into it." This technological revolution is driving a shift from degree-based to skills-based hiring, opening doors for workers to develop capabilities that traditional education might not provide. When it comes to the persistent gender pay gap, LaTonya's insights are particularly valuable.
