名校勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)演講 第185期:一切皆有可能(7)

[00:00.01]In a way, my own experiences reflect those of many women in the business arena 在某種意義上，我自己的經(jīng)歷映射了商界中的許多女性， [00:06.31]who struggle to retain the best of who they are while carving out a successful management career. 她們也在為保持最佳的自我和追求成功的管理生涯而奮斗。 [00:13.49]During my visit here, I have met and talked with so many women, 在我來(lái)訪期間，我遇見(jiàn)了很多女性，同她們交談， [00:18.32]and I am truly heartened that the doors of opportunity are beginning to open for women in every field. 令我感到欣慰的是，在所有領(lǐng)域，機(jī)會(huì)的大門已經(jīng)為女性敞開(kāi)。 [00:25.58]But I also know that real change is a slow process, 但我也知道真正的改變需要一個(gè)漫長(zhǎng)的過(guò)程， [00:29.44]so I am hopeful that my own experiences as a woman and as a leader will provide a valuable perspective. 因此，我希望我自己作為女性領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的經(jīng)歷能夠提供一個(gè)有價(jià)值的視角。 [00:39.44]As the company for women, Avon's commitment to providing developmental opportunities for women is second to none. 作為一家“比女人更了解女人”的企業(yè)，雅芳的首要承諾就是為女性提供發(fā)展的機(jī)會(huì)。 [00:48.05]As you might expect, Avon has a solid representation of women in senior management. 你們可能知道雅芳的高級(jí)管理層很多都是女性。 [00:54.22]In fact, this was one of the reasons I joined the company a decade ago, 實(shí)際上，這也是我十年前加入這家公司的原因之一， [00:59.50]working my way up the ranks through areas of increasing responsibility. 然后不斷努力工作，得到升遷，承擔(dān)更多的責(zé)任。 [01:05.09]But interestingly, it has only been in recent years that "the company for women" 但是有意思的是，只有在近幾年這家“比女人更了解女人” [01:10.23]has also emerged as the company for women in senior leadership positions. 是公司才讓女性出現(xiàn)在高層管理者的職位上。 [01:16.36]Until the last decade, women were not well represented in the executive suite. 十年前，執(zhí)行層隊(duì)伍中幾乎沒(méi)有女性， [01:21.56]With few exceptions, middle management was about as far as they could go. 而中層管理人員中也只有零星幾個(gè)。 [01:27.01]Here was a company with virtually 100% women customers and sales representatives, yet capable women simply could not get to the top. 這是一個(gè)客戶和銷售代表幾乎100%是女性的公司，但有能力的女性偏偏無(wú)法上升到高層職位。
