Why You Don't Have to Compromise For Your Career | Erin Hatzikostas | TEDxFarmingdale

Before you roll your eyes at yet another talk about gender diversity, this talk will finally avail the truth that most people want to ignore. Women are the ones opting out.

There is no doubt we have a major gender diversity issue in the workplace. Unfortunately though, we ignore the biggest issue; much of the top female talent are themselves opting out (or opting down). They fear having to compromise to rise - compromise their family, their health, or even their soul.

And it doesn't have to be this way.

In this talk, Erin will bust the highly-held myths associated with having to trade your soul for success. And she will convince you that authenticity is the antidote that will not only help women say "hell yes!", it will also revolutionize companies and their results. Erin Hatzikostas is a former Corporate CEO turned speaker, thought leader, and edutainer. Erin has spoken in front of thousands, is a regular contributor to Business Insider, and co-hosts an offbeat career and leadership podcast, b Cause with Erin & Nicole.
Erin spent her career “first half” working in the corporate world, where at the age of 42, she became the CEO of a $2bn healthcare financial institution. In just 3 years, she took a struggling company and turned it around, tripling earnings and sending employee engagement skyrocketing. Her secret? Radically authentic leadership.
Just when things were going great, she decided to walk away so that she could help solve what truly breaks her heart: the immense lack of authenticity and happiness in Corporate America.
Through her company, b Authentic inc, Erin is leading a movement to eradicate the all-too-fake Corporate environment by inspiring and enabling an army of people to crush their career, without compromising everything else.

She is married to her husband, Manny, who she met while stumbling through an early career in the Actuarial field. They have two children - Ella (11) and Mick (9).
