BWT TedTalk: Women Supporting Each Other at Work

Details: There is research that shows women in particular benefit from collaboration over competition. New research in the Harvard Business Review finds that while both men and women benefit from having a network of well-connected peers across different groups, women who also have an inner circle of close female contacts are more likely to land executive positions with greater authority and higher pay, while there was no link found for the success of men in terms of the gender composition of their inner circles.

Collectively during this virtual event, attendees will watch Martin’s Ted Talk, where she pushes for women to advocate for one another in the workplace, stressing that hard work does not speak for itself–you and your supporters do.
