A Welcoming Seat at the Table

3/16/2024

Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend some time with the women from FortisTCI. We explored the International Women's Day Theme 2024, InspireInclusion. In our time together we chatted about the power of inclusion and the importance of looking inward before you look outward. The question posed was: "How do you make a woman feel comfortable being seated at your table?â€

I shared the following tips:

Reflect on what it means to be inclusive.
Look for ways to amplify each otherâ€™s voices, to provide mentorship and sponsorship.
Look for ways to minimize microaggressions and use microaffirmations.
Be intentional about skill-building and knowledge sharing.
Create safe spaces.
