Cisco's Kanouff Says the ‘Door is Open' for Women in Comms

Great Interview!  Very encourged and insprired that "doors are open" but we are "stuck into the edge of the band". There is "gap" between management and executive level.   We need a mentor(s) who can help in giving women in middle management (Managers / Directors) an "ESCAPE VELOCITY"  to give extra boost and dive deeper into how to get to that next level in the career ladder, and be their champions. Champions can do more for you that you can ever do on your own.   Female CEOs / Executives they can give insights on 'How do they build relationships? How do they get out there, new clients or referrals or promotions?' And it's often because they've had a champion (male or female) who can talk about them better than they can talk about themselves. Women are so modest; we tend to not really share and talk about how great we are, how talented we are. So oftentimes, this is the champion's role – our cheerleader – and for women, especially, this is something all of us really need.
