it’s natural to want your work to satisfy your strong needs. Maggi Reiss on Green Connections Radio podcast
With women still only 7.4% of the Fortune 500 CEOs, executives, recruiters, and advocates are wondering what needs to happen for more women to ascend to those roles. A brand new study conducted by Green Connections Media (GCM) in partnership with IDS Publishing may provide some answers, especially for those in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math).
Called the Reiss Motivational Profile (“RMP”), it “helps people to…think about what they really want out of life, what’s really important to them,” Maggi Reiss explained.

“I think it’s important to know yourself…. When you know yourself, you can put yourself in situations where you can thrive…. When you know yourself and you know somebody else that you’re close with, you can appreciate that if you have a difference with them, it’s a difference in values. It’s not that their right and you’re wrong, it’s that you differ in your values.” Maggi Reiss on Green Connections Radio podcast
