You value your work AND your life, your family ties, interpersonal relationships, and communities. Your holistic perspective and emotional intelligence is what has made you successful in the first place.

Companies struggling to hire women aren’t attracting you because they’re not offering the right things, like a system that supports your success instead of making it doubly hard. Perhaps you just want to work one day a week from home, or come in early and leave in time for your kid’s soccer game. A parking space or meal delivery service or laundry pick-up would free up hours of productive time. Special perks have been part of men’s executive packages for decades, because they demanded them. But women haven’t even asked.
