In today’s episode of The Culture Coach Podcast, Wendy sits down with tech executive and author Kae Williams for a candid conversation about the invisible barriers women and marginalized leaders face at work—and the strategies that actually help you navigate them with confidence, clarity, and impact.

Kae has spent decades leading in male-dominated environments across startups, scale-ups, and global tech companies. Throughout her career, she noticed a repeated pattern: women being spoken over, their ideas being dismissed or “hepeated,” their credibility questioned, and their contributions overlooked—regardless of company size or culture.

These patterns inspired her to write her book, Not Made for You Now, a powerful guide for women who want to succeed without having to shrink, smile more, or tolerate bias.

Kae Williams is a seasoned tech executive, marketer, and advocate for equity in the workplace. Her book, Not Made for You Now, offers practical tools for women navigating biased systems—and guidance for leaders ready to reimagine culture with intention.
