3. In your opinion or experience, please name 1-2 things that can be done by a) individuals b) companies and/or c) society to support the elevation of women in senior positions in the industry? 

A:  

Individuals 

Try to be aware of your unconscious biases towards women, as many of us have grown surrounded and influenced by them. Being aware means making sure we celebrate each other for our successes and give each other credit when credit is due. Still to this day I sadly see men being credited wholly or in part for the hard work women are doing. 

Companies

Offer company training tailored to address gender biases and challenge unconscious biases that can be held by both male and female staff. Do not assume this is a male problem. In fact, from my experience, some men are more aware of their unconscious bias. increasing awareness of these biases can help empower your team to better support women's growth and advancement.
