What we do to close gender gaps
Encourage women mentorship at work
Mentoring helps your leaders and rising stars practice their communication skills. Whether mentoring happens in one-on-one or group settings, it encourages women to practice effective, clear communication. (Forbes)
Encourage women to build their brands, to speak up and receive credits for their ideas
Women think if they stand up and say “I did this”, that they are bragging. But it’s not bragging. It’s making your capabilities and success known. (Page Ripani, Principal, Booz Allen Hamilton)
Encourage women to bring their authentic selves to work
If you are two different people at home and at work, then you are not being authentic. I aspire to be the same person wherever I go. (Nasrin Resai, Global Enterprise and Security Leader, GE)
