How to Navigate Workplace Bias

This playlist unpacks and addresses the common forms of disrespect women face at work. These videos give a foundation of how to deal with this type of discrimination, and what to do when you encounter it in and out of the workplace. You’ll also learn ways to advocate for fellow women in your life, how to stand up to unfair treatment, and ways to be an ally when you encounter microaggressions towards others. Each video is accompanied by a guide for you to discuss with peers on how best to navigate these challenges and thrive at work.

Assertiveness is an essential leadership trait. But bias makes this challenging for women to navigate, as a majority of women receive negative feedback when they are assertive. In this video, we provide advice on how you can strategically assert yourself to show strong leadership skills without being penalized for it. By focusing on shared goals and demonstrating empathy, you can lead in a way that inspires and brings out the best in everyone.

Each playlist is 7-to-9 months of curated content for women with shared experiences, career stages, or skill-building goals. We provide a kickoff guide to set the stage for your first Circle meeting, custom discussion guides for each video, and a Looking Back and Next Steps Guide after you complete the playlist (which is coming soon).
