Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, hosted by Mary Shirley and Lisa Fine. Today’s guest on the Great Women in Compliance podcast is one of the groundbreaking women in the E&C field, Amii Barnard-Bahn. Amii is a former Fortune 50 executive, the founder and CEO of Barnard-Bahn Coaching and Consulting, and recently joined Kaplan and Walker as a partner in February 2023. She is also the author of the Promotability Index and the PI Guidebook: How the Promotability Index® Can Help You Get Ahead in Your Career. Lisa and Amii discuss some of Amii’s recent work about listening and team building, and specifically about the importance of active listening. She focuses on the difference between listening to understand vs. listening to respond. They also discuss the challenges for women to speak up, and at the same time making sure you are listening and speaking effectively, and how to address this when you are working with someone who only listens to respond.
Amii has also been a leader for women executives, in her coaching and consulting work, her advocacy for women on Boards and pay equity. Lisa and Amii discuss the compensation gap between men and women and whether women in E&C suffer from the same pay gap. She also shares some practical tips for women to keep in mind when negotiating a compensation increase or a promotion. You can find all the information about Amii here.
