 - The first 100 people who register for the event will be given the opportunity to screen the film at your leisure between Saturday May 13, 2023 – Friday May 19, 2023. 

Pioneers in Skirts is a regional Emmy-nominated 60-min impact documentary about the obstacles that get in the way of pioneering ambition. 

The film addresses the stereotyping and sexism that can chip away at a woman, limit her potential, and make her feel like she must re-think her dreams.

Many women battle a bias that is eroding their ambition. There are mountains of research (

) that reveal women start out their careers with more ambition than men, but as soon as 2 years out of college women’s confidence and ambition 

. These declines came independent of marriage or motherhood status. And, this phenomenon affects women across professions.

Pioneers in Skirts is an engaging social conscious documentary that examines WHY this happens by asking the question: 

What is it that can chip away at a young woman, hurt her potential, and make her feel like she must re-think her dreams?

Pioneers in Skirts is a film that leaves people thinking about the world around them. When they participate in a screening event, many people tend to:

The data is clear: Diversity is essential to build better and more profitable businesses.*

This goes beyond the need for more equitable hiring practices, compensation, and access; it is the difference between you and your companies ability to thrive in todays selling market.

PSC is on a mission to help enable all PreSales professionals to understand the value and necessity of diversity on their teams and within their company. With the release of the 2023 State of Diversity in PreSales report, The PSC is pleased to host our first ever State of Diversity in PreSales Summit. This Summit will be a combination of data analysis and review of the report, as well as actionable items for participants to take away that day and implement into their personal and professional practice.

Research also shows that businesses with diverse leadership outperform those without diverse leadership, and that out-performance is growing significantly.* That means that organizations that aren’t focusing on diverse, equitable and inclusive environments are losing the corporate game. As PreSales leaders and contributors, we’re familiar with pioneering in many different areas. Let’s continue to do so here.
