Description
Based on more than 30 years of high-profile financial leadership experience, Laura Mattia’s new book is a goldmine for women who are looking to either start or secure their existing career in financial services.
Offering a unique perspective on the #metoo movement, Gender on Wall Street aims to focus power back on women and teach them how to develop key skills, increase their confidence, and stand up for themselves effectively in the competitive financial industry.
Mattia uses a combination of academic research, personal stories, and anecdotes from other women to show how women can succeed in an industry which is not doing enough to support them in advancing their careers. She argues that too many women who enter the industry get frustrated and quickly leave, but that the key is for women to be taught how to support each other and take their careers into their own hands. This book gives them the tools to do that.
Written by a former Senior Financial Executive for several Fortune 500 firms including M&M Mars, a Wealth Manager/Owner of a fee-only Registered Investment Advisory firm, and Professor of financial planning at the University of South Florida, this book helps women identify pitfalls, create game plans to transcend the limitations of their workplace cultures, and learn how to collaborate with their peers to create healthier work environments.
Gender on Wall Street helps women identify the internal and external obstacles to their success. It also provides a means of overcoming these obstacles through conscious engagement, personal reflection and strategy-building exercises at the conclusion of each chapter. The book outlines how women can create their own personal career plan—the STAR plan—which will help them achieve career success.

"Gender on Wall Street is the right book at the right time and everyone in financial services should read it. Laura Mattia brilliantly combines data with real-life stories to inspire readers to take action. Her inclusive, realistic approach to addressing the lack of gender diversity in the industry is refreshing. She not only highlights how complex the issues are, but also provides a blueprint for change. If you are a female advisor, a woman considering a career in financial services, or a man who believes in gender parity, this book is for you.”
