Sexual harassment effects 1 in 4 women in the workplace. Even scarier, 56% of women experience retaliation for reporting it.
The experience of harassment in the workplace is a chapter of Lisa Bowman’s story. She had the dream career. She was a highly sought after and award winning marketing executive. In 2015, the CEO of United Way approached Lisa about being the EVP and Chief Marketing and Communications Officer for them. For the first two years Lisa knew this was where she was meant to be. And then her dream job turned into a nightmare when a male peer began harassing her. Rather than finding support, her boss told her to make it work. Then, two women on Lisa’s team came to her in confidence and disclosed they had both experienced sexually harassment from the same man. Lisa knew what she had to do.
Today, Lisa is a best-selling author for her book, Harrashole, a powerful narrative of the events that she experienced at United Way. Lisa is on a mission to bring this behavior into the light and eradicate it from the workplace. This behavior ends now.
