ROOTED IN YOUR CONFIDENCE

Why Women Leave Male-Dominated Workplaces: Culture, Confidence, and Retention

Samantha Kaye Season 2 Episode 12

In this powerful episode of Rooted In Your Confidence, Samantha Kaye Harris sits down with Sandra Coker, Founder and CEO of Human Power Solutions, international bestselling author of People, Profit, and host of the People, Profit Podcast. With over 20 years of experience helping organizations build cultures where people actually want to stay, grow, and lead, Sandra brings real, no-fluff insight into what people-first leadership truly looks like.


Together, they explore why HR and learning & development deserve a seat at the executive table, how companies can retain more women in male-dominated industries, and why data not just feelings can be a game changer when advocating for workplace change. Sandra also shares her deeply personal journey of reinventing her life in her 50s, pushing through fear, and learning to ride a motorcycle as a powerful metaphor for courage and confidence.


This conversation dives into:

• Why investing in people is the key to retention and performance

• How women can walk courageously into their confidence

• What it means to be the first or only woman in the room

• Why fear isn’t something to avoid but something to move through

• How leaders can create inclusive, high-performing workplace cultures


If you’re a woman navigating a male-dominated field, a leader who wants to build a better workplace, or someone ready to stop shrinking and start standing strong this episode is for you.


Tune in and discover what it really means to lead, live, and work with confidence.
