- Become an Ally: breaking through the gender equity divide. Ignited by digital transformation and a global pandemic, the world is finally uncovering the gender gaps and inequities that have plagued women in our society for generations. Today, through technology democratization, purpose-driven leadership and male allyship we can close the gap of inequity and create a new narrative. As women entrepreneurs and leaders, we can use our courageous voices to step into powerful leadership roles, inspiring others to become agents of change. Through connection, outreach, mentorship and empowerment, we build healthier workplace cultures, attract new employees, customers and investors, increase opportunities for all women and meet the needs of the next generation of leaders to stimulate a new economic revolution. Together, we no longer remain invisible. Gavriella Schuster is a C-level Microsoft leader who is passionate about recruiting more women and minorities into the technology sector.

Thank you for your leadership and for all that you do in our industry and for gender equality.
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 TH-cam comment section). Thank you for sharing the experience and for your leadership in being the change.
How are women equal?
You keep making these silly claims with no evidence.
@@lockandloadlikehell How are they not equal? Every human has different strengths and abilities, to say any one is better than or less than is just ridiculous. We can not function as a society without the unique gifts each individual brings to the collective.
👍
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!
An incredible journey, she is paving the way!
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
I know right! I've been lucky to have bosses that have made sure that my ideas and opinions are heard and validated.
so true
Great to hear a strong voice advocating for change, but what i really appreciated was the context of BeCOME.
I do too!
I got that too!
WOOHOOO GO MOM
lol, wish my kids would cheer me on!
I loved this so much. I can relate.
If you want to be able to compete, have the skills and physical and mental capacity to compete.
No clue why women keep claiming they are equal.
I can too, it is simple, love is the key!
I am thinking it is 2021 and this is still an issue. Good talk.
strong voice!
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.
Inspirational and empowering presentation, thank you Gavriella
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
yeah i really liked the way she she explained this, i feel like i understand a lot better now
Articulate and brilliant!
Yes! Say it LOUD. THIS is the way forward, this is how we raise each other up!
I actually really appreciated this. Gonna share with some mates
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
power in numbers!
good send J!
I thought that too, it would be so frustrating to witness the slow pace that we have been moving towards greatness when we can do so much better
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.
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.
This was really good mate, thanks for sending across. Appreciated.
Really good one my friend, thank you.
What do you think of Joes "I got your back" statement?
Was wondering about that too.
Love this !
Women's power! Yeah, I like your idea!
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!
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!
That's the most terrible feeling when you feel invisible. I know what she is talking about. That always makes me upset. And what do I usually do? I never quit, just like her. I believe that we are about reaching a gender equity
The most challenging task is to change a stereotype.
You have to adapt to the situation you are in. Expecting others to change for you is unrealistic. Fix the problem yourself. You can do it. You don’t need allies. If I was in a room full of women, I wouldn’t expect them to change their communication style to make it easier for me, and believe you me, I have been in that situation plenty of times. Stop demanding men change. This is not our issue. It’s your issue.
Brilliant topic and informative. These are really helpful tips to become an ally for gender equity
