Ally for Women in Technology
summary
Ten concrete micro actions: audit who gets high-value project assignments versus “housework,” rewrite job ads to remove macho language, change informal meetups to daytime options, and coach teams to amplify interrupted ideas when women are talked over (research cited: women get interrupted three times more than men). Step in to redirect inappropriate moments, teach negotiation and self-promotion explicitly, swap biased labels like “abrasive” for “direct,” and invite women onto panels and projects.
