Cindy Esliger directly addresses why women in STEM need allies to build a successful career. She is referring to the type of ally with privilege and power who takes action to support women in male dominated professions. Why are allies so important and how can you be one? Cindy has some guidance to share.  The truth is that women in male dominated professions, like STEM, often face barriers to promotion and are less satisfied with their jobs because of systemic biases. Men who work alongside these women need to take the first step of seeing the biases that are in place and educating themselves about women’s experiences. Listen to their stories, says Cindy, and learn what they are facing.Cindy breaks down the realities of what women are up against in the workplace that men don’t face and she explains the self-reflection and self-education that allies must start doing before they can become effective. She talks about how to be an active ally without disempowering the very women you’re looking to support, and she offers three key points to remember on your journey to allyship: 1) Listen and educate, 2) Speak up and advocate, and 3) Take action. This is a vital episode for everyone to take in. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Being a Better AllyAstronomic Audio—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
