Sometimes it just gets to me. Sometimes I feel such despair that despite all of our efforts we haven’t reached further. Sometimes I think that it’ll be no different for my own daughter. I went to a conference this past week. A very interesting conference with a lot of competent speakers, both women, and men. One of the keynote speakers […]
We have a ton of opinions and make loads of assumptions about everything. All the time. Every day. Consciously and unconsciously. Is today’s weather good or bad? Is your colleague’s outfit suitable? Is that child’s behavior appropriate? We constantly pass judgment and give value to things. We jump to conclusions and label people and situations that occur as good or […]
In the wake of the #metoo movement, there are several high profile men that have been called out on sexual abuse and even rape. Atrocities that they have committed for several years and people have known about it, or at least had very strong suspicions about what’s been going on. Why haven’t they been exposed earlier? How could they get […]
We need more women in tech. No arguing there. But how do we achieve it? Why do so few women study tech subjects at the university and why are even fewer working within the tech industry? Are women not interested in tech? Or is there something else that explains the sorry lack of female voices in the industry? Research suggests […]
Do you have a clear picture of what’s getting you up in the morning? Do you know why you do what you do? For what purpose are you slugging along trying to get it all together? If you don’t know, you do best in finding out. We need a sense of purpose in life and figuring out your why can […]
Why is it that women have to make themselves look good? Why is it that most guys spend 2 minutes in the bathroom brushing their teeth while women spend 10x that time every morning getting ready for the day? The pattern repeats itself at bedtime when men once again spend only a few minutes, while women have to get the […]
Gender. Gender inequalities. Gender differences. Always up for debate. You have to tread lightly to not step on someone’s toes. But sometimes that cannot be helped. Sometimes you have to voice your opinion even though not everyone will agree with you. Are gender differences due to biology? Or are they a social construct only? Perhaps a mix of the two? […]
As the new year is upon us, I find that it’s an appropriate time to reflect on the year that’s passed. Sometimes we judge ourselves too harshly. That nagging feeling that you’ve accomplished very little. That you have nothing to show for. Most of the time, that feeling gives a false representation of reality. Before you plan your actions for […]
The most well-regarded person at a workplace is usually the one that stays positive even when faced with difficulties. The one that stands firm for what they believe in, but at the same time is not afraid to acknowledge that there might be another way of doing things. No obstacle is too great. Every opinion is worth considering. And there’s […]
Complaining is draining. Complaining is non-productive. Complaining doesn’t lead to anything. It doesn’t change things. Complaining only leads to more complaining. Down the rabbit hole we go. Sucking in people who just happen to be standing close by. Complaining is like a contagious disease. A toxin that gets under your skin. You might think it’s harmless, until one day, you […]
