BeCOME an Ally : How to achieve gender equity | Gavriella Schuster | TEDxCherryCreekWomen

[josephkhalaf]

Thank you for your leadership and for all that you do in our industry and for gender equality.

[JayNChelle]

Thank you for speaking your voice, sharing your own experience so we know we are not alone, and guiding men and women on tactical ways to foster inclusion, diversity and equity. You are a true mentor and inspiration for all women in tech!

[nicolenapiltonia]

Great to hear a strong voice advocating for change, but what i really appreciated was the context of BeCOME.

[christophercost]

Gavriella, it is crucially important we keep remembering that position and being known isn’t enough to overcome ego, arrogance, and pure laziness in the boardroom, conference room, and office (and apparently YouTube comment section). Thank you for sharing the experience and for your leadership in being the change.

[harmonyhadley]

Yes! Say it LOUD. THIS is the way forward, this is how we raise each other up!

[alicemonay]

I love when it's said how creating an inclusive environment is easy, it's just ensuring all voices are heard - and that's where the greatest ideas comes from

[Chelsea-Chelsea]

Incredibly brilliant and so simple. No one is being silenced, no one is worth more than the other, we just need to be heard, to listen, diversity brings so much more potential and success. Fabulous presentation by a brilliant woman

[TimothyHughes]

Inspirational and empowering presentation, thank you Gavriella

[MisterekMr]

Not just gender equality, but equality among cultures as well. Voices of those often not heard need to be raised up and supported so that their perspectives ARE heard.

My wife does a mentoring course for young ladies in their late teens and early 20's. She worked in tourism for 20 years before she decided to start this course. What she always reminds them is that they have a voice and it will be heard if they ensure it is - which means knowing your worth and knowing that you count. Something my wife has always been adamant about was when men have not listened to her, she puts on her "Mom" vibe, hand on hip, chin tilted down and eye brows raised as she slows her speech "Do you need me to explain that again or did we grasp it the first time around?" and they almost always immediately back her and up and encourage her. I think all women need to tap into the fact they are in control, you have total control over the switchboard of life - own it.

8 Million to get to gender equality... It would have bit a touch of a bitter taste to have to see your Daughter face the same and more challenges that you did. I really appreciated this talk and I will be coming back to it. There's a lot to take from it. Thank you Gavriella

[samuelygeissler]

I actually really appreciated this. Gonna share with some mates

[johnbradey]

Simple, direct, clear. This steps are so clear and easy that it amazes me this isn’t common knowledge. They could be applied to all business models successfully, even better that the focus here is on women and building a culture that is inclusive and empowering. My partner and I have been looking for videos to educate some friends of ours. This is perfect.

[oguzkaanuremis]

Good business leaders see the value in individuals and nurtures it. The quicker we can get past subconscious bias, the greater the outcomes will be.

[eirajansta]

Women's power! Yeah, I like your idea!

[bjdogg]

Brilliant topic and informative. These are really helpful tips to become an ally for gender equity

[sashapetrovic]

What do you think of Joes "I got your back" statement?

[IamLegoMan]

Oh! I know that feeling! Being surrounded by men in a business setting and having to build yourself up to get the words out when they are all just free flow saying whatever they want. I always feel out of place despite all I have done for my company! Say it louder and get this message out!

[therealmariorossi]

Once I read the forum of tech people (yes, we still have more men there). I was shocked. They still have so many men who talk about women in IT disrespectfully! That was so annoying!

[rusticsettings]

The most challenging task is to change a stereotype.
