"In the day-to-day grind, it’s easy to forget that coming together with a group of women is simply powerful."
There are so many aspects of this presentation that made me feel seen and heard. In the day-to-day grind, it’s easy to forget that coming together with a group of women is simply powerful. Dr. Lacey’s explanation of emotional intelligence uses real-world examples but also challenges the listener to relate our own examples of unconscious gender bias in the workplace. By examining ingrained, socially accepted stereotypes, we learned tips to counter generations of imprinting, to create a better future not only for ourselves but for the generations to come.
