Angel Henry, Author, Speaker, Allyship Advocate and IT Leader, set out to write a 3-page LinkedIn article helping emerging leaders, primarily women of color, capitalize on the knowledge she’d compiled after 15 years as a leader in tech.  That 3-page linkedIn article grew into “Dents in the Ceiling: Tools Women and Allies Need to Breakthrough,” which chronicles the experiences of 30 women and speaks to three distinct groups: women of color and underrepresented groups in leadership positions and those aspiring to become leaders, as well as allies.  In this episode Angel discusses with Jeff Ton, the incident that ignited her original idea, some compelling stories from women that come straight out of her book and specific action items that will help each of the three groups, “make dents in the ceiling.”
