In celebration of International Women’s Day 2020, I was fortunate to attend a stimulating talk by Australian journalist and award-winning author Catherine Fox titled, “How to achieve real culture change in gender equity.”

Catherine debunked common myths about women that have propagated the workplace. She stressed that gender inequality is due to bias not gender differences in behavior or performance, and she emphasized that the concept of merit is subjective and prone to gender bias.

She believes we collectively have the tools to address the gender gap, so it’s imperative we move forward with implementation in this area. And we all need to amplify what women do in the workplace. Gender inclusive workplaces benefit us all!

I can’t wait to check out Catherine’s latest book, “Stop Fixing Women.”
