What employees are saying:
“
I am awesome, I don't need to be as apologetic or try to fit in as much, instead just focus on staying curious. Confidence is like exercising a muscle. The more you practice the more you have.
“
This was a really valuable experience and I learned that I can be a lot less hard on myself.
“
So many great ideas and goals to think about! I'm going to be mindful of micro inequalities and how much I say 'sorry'. I'm also inspired to seek out more women as allies and mentors.
