Women talk about the challenges they face in a patriarchal society but in reality, women are each other’s own worst enemies, often holding each other back and sabotaging one another’s careers. Many, if not most, career women would agree that the bosses that gave them the most grief in their careers were female. For National Boss’s Day on Friday, look at why this is the case. Career coach, author and former Wall Street executive Tamara Lashchyk discusses these issues and gives real-life examples of women who vindictively tried to sabotage the career of other women, including her own boss, who fired her just two days before she retired. She can answer such questions as do female bosses treat their male subordinates better than their female reports? Is this a generational issue and are millennials better at supporting other women than baby boomers? What can women do to help each other? Tamara has been interviewed by the BBC and featured in Huffington Post. Contact Tamara Lashchyk at (848) 373-3543; TLashchyk@rtirguests.com

Do Pelosi and Trump Have Similar Leadership?
At first glance, Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi would appear to have little in common. Sure, they both have their fans and detractors. But apart from that, both leaders depend on others because they can’t do everything themselves and need to rely on people who have the expertise they lack. For a fascinating show, talk to Steven Mays about how we often confuse style and personality with leadership and why much of politics is just persuasion, neither truth nor lies, and nothing to get upset about. Mays is the author of “Power of 3 Leadership, Lessons in Leadership.” A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis who served on nuclear submarines, he was a mathematician, electrical engineer and nuclear engineer who worked in private industry and at the Nuclear Regulation Commission.

Want Americans to Vote? Give Them the Day Off
The 2020 elections face many unique challenges, but a growing number of businesses are promising to give employees the time and tools they need to vote. More than 700 large and small companies have joined Time to Vote, a business-led, nonpartisan coalition. “The need has never been greater for businesses to provide their employees dedicated time off to vote,” says Dan Schulman, president and CEO of PayPal, one of the three companies that founded Time to Vote in 2018. “No American should have to choose between earning a paycheck and voting. Business leaders around the country must step up and do what’s needed to ensure all of their employees will have the opportunity to have their voices heard this November.” Time to Vote is asking more companies to join the movement and commit to giving employees the time and resources they need to vote. The goal is to have more than 1,000 companies – from a diverse set of industries representing every state – join the movement by November 3. Time to Vote was founded by Levi Strauss & Co., Patagonia and PayPal ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, when 411 companies joined. For interviews, contact Tiffany Peng at PayPal at tipeng@paypal.com, Corley Kenna at Patagonia at corley.kenna@patagonia.com or Kelly Mason at Levi Strauss & Co. at newsmediarequests@levi.com
