[109] How to Break Down Barriers so Women in IT Succeed

Chloe Cameron is the Chief People Officer EMA at PAX8. She describes her current role at Pax8 as nothing short of enabling people to do the best work of their lives at the business. 

Chloe tells Richard how she defines culture and what it looks like within Pax8. She explains why you should be clear on your values and purpose, and how to encourage the right culture in your MSP. 

They also talk about what to do if someone isn’t the right fit for your business, the skills Chloe uses every day and what it’s like being a Woman in IT. Chloe also shares her advice for women joining the IT industry. 

From a business perspective, they explore how to encourage more women into IT and how to manage a hybrid workforce. Plus, they look at why women are less assertive than men and how we can start to break the bias in the workplace. 

They also talk about managing your energy levels and expectations as an introvert, and supporting good mental health in the workplace.

Get MSP Insights every Tuesday

Every Tuesday I share my thoughts on the business of IT with you, the Managed Services community. Thousands of Managed Service Providers already subscribe to MSP Insights. It’s easy to sign up, easy to cancel. MSP Insights is basically a short email from me, every Tuesday without fail, with advice on growing your IT business, plus cool resources I’ve found, discovered or starting exploring that week. It’s kind of like my diary of cool things, and often includes articles or books I’ve read, tools I’ve discovered, and events I think you’d be interested in, often sent to me by my friends and TubbTalk podcast guests. So, if that sounds fun, a short, tiny bite of MSP goodness every Tuesday, and you’d like to try it out, just go to https://go.tubb.co/tuesday, drop in your email and you’ll get the very next one.

About the Podcast

TubbTalk: The Podcast for Managed Service Providers
Putting Managed Service Providers back in control!
Richard Tubb has been a leader and keynote speaker in the MSP community for the last two decades. At the helm of media company and MSP advisory business Tubblog, Richard loves to showcase tech companies disrupting the industry, as well as shining a light on new tools you might not be aware of.

His long-running and successful interview-style show, TubbTalk, features fireside style chats with the CEOs and CTOs of these businesses, to dig deep into how they got started in the industry, what inspired them to start something new and what their advice would be to anyone who wants to do the same.

But it's not all tech focused! As a former MSP owner himself, Richard knows that there are many facets to being a business owner, which is why his guests reflect that too.

Previous topics include mental health, sales, marketing, business growth, productivity, customer service and more. Wondering why you should listen? Well, as one fan put it: "It's like eavesdropping on a conversation between two friends, who are sharing their knowledge and wisdom with each other. You learn while you're being entertained."
