Why not this podcast?
It's been an interesting, and really encouraging journey for us so far. Even since we started a couple of months ago, the gender conversation seems to have a bit more fire in it (this may just be cognitive bias). One of the reasons I reached out to talk to people was that I knew there were great, positive examples of wonderful change to be shared and wanted to help spotlight some of these great stories. We've both been looking for more examples and more answers for what others do everyday to improve daily life for women (and therefore everyone); to introduce into our own workplaces, so we thought this might be helpful to others too. And, it's exciting that we're starting to find lots of these examples.
So, while things are looking up, there have also been a few awkward moments where people have popped up, just joining the conversation, a bit late to the party, and publicly declaring that they've just realised there's a problem. Reading these pieces on linkedin, Medium, Twitter, Facebook or wherever other good opinions are shared, one only needs to count to ten, before there quickly follows the 'haters-gonna-hate' comments; or the this isn't me 'some-of-my-best-friends-are-women' decriers; or the 'I'm-a-great-woman-there's-no-problem-women-just-need-to-learn-to-negotiate-better' comments. This could get you down if you let it.
There is a problem. We've already learned a lot from our kind and gracious guests, we invite you to do the same:
- Tune in
- Listen to real women share their stories on techwomentalkingg (& others)
- Take note of the talker's tips
- Send us any feedback
- Suggest a techwomentalker
