From $300 to WILD Group: Emma Burdett on Reinvention, Personal Brand & Starting Again

So what would be then, Emma, your advice to women that are facing the same situation that you just described, rejected, bullied in their corporate job right now?

I think that leave.

Leave.

You know, no one should be subjected to or a victim of bullying in particular.

You know, corporate environments... tend to be very autocratic patriarchal still you know there hasn't been any change so you know i think that we all deserve to be respected heard valued and seen no matter what the circumstance and if we are not getting that respect then it's time to leave

But what if a person is financially struggling and he needs the job or she needs the job to actually satisfy their needs?

There's other jobs.

There's other jobs.

We can be tricked into thinking we are stuck.

And I believe that we create our own reality.

We are not stuck.

Obviously, we could go deeper into this conversation.

People are stuck.

I get it, you know.

But a normal person in a corporate job Leave is my advice.

And it's such a shame because when we embrace diversity and make people feel psychological safety...

It enables people to bring their whole selves to the workplace.

And that's when we start to see better productivity, greater innovation.

So it's unfortunate that this can be a byproduct of corporate environments.

But I do believe that we have potentially an option.

And what would be then, this is from, let's say, the employee side.

Now let's look at the employer side.

What would be the, let's say, the concept or the things that the employee should put in an organization to make sure that this will never happen to women?

Well, it's quite an interesting question because, you know, many companies started creating and developing women's networks, diversity and inclusion policy.

Policy starts from C-suite, the board, shareholders, and then, you know, down to the CHRO to create the policy.
