We all have values. We all stand for and against certain causes. Be it people, initiatives, practices, philosophies, products  -  we connect to some so strongly, feel so passionately that we believe in them, stand by them, support them.  Big or small, it doesn't matter. We all have values. The one value I stand for, both personally and professionally, is gender equality. Irrespective of industry, background or location, women face discrimination. And that is the harsh reality. I myself have been in numerous situations, in different industries and, at different stages of life where I’ve been treated a little differently to men. I’m certain you have too, and if not, then at least witnessed it. With the theme of this year’s International Women’s Day being #BreakTheBias, I’m finding the courage to share some of my own experiences of gender bias.More importantly, I’m also sharing practices that have helped me cope with this kind of discrimination. I have found positive ways to deal with this harsh reality, without giving in.Join me as I share 4 practices that I have learnt along the way to #BreakTheBias, how I cope with biased behaviour and what we can do collectively to change this discrimination.Please do me a favour and share your story with me so that not only do you know you’re not alone but so do I. Hope there comes a time when we don’t need to have a special day to celebrate women. Until then let’s do our part – let’s #BreakTheBias.
