Navigating Male-Dominated Spaces & Standing up for Yourself
Are you one of very few women on your team? Do you work in a traditionally male field or industry? Have you experienced misogyny and discrimination in the workplace?
Unfortunately, you are not alone. Fortunately, there are incredible female trailblazer who are paving the way for future generations of badass women. This week's guest is one of them. Kate Gelman is an engineer and was one of the first employees at Elon Musk's Neuralink, his company dedicated to building the world’s highest bandwidth brain-machine interface.
On this episode, Kate shares with us what it's like to be the only woman on a team of 14 and how the the sexism she has experienced in her field has taught her how to stand up for herself. Kate believes in the importances of creating open and honest spaces where we can discuss our experiences.
We also talk about what male allies can do to be more supportive and why having visible female role models is so important.
