Women in Tech: Amplify, Support, Build
By Kari Wilhelm
One of the most impactful things we as individuals can do for women in tech is support each other and be role models for others to do the same. While the industry works toward greater inclusivity, never underestimate the power of small, daily actions. They add up and create an overall stronger tech community. Here are three things I am mindful of every day:
1. Amplify voices
Make sure ideas are heard and recognized. Sometimes there are barriers to voices being heard—taking a few extra moments every day to seek out more voices can make a huge difference.
2. Challenge the scarcity mindset
Even if examples around you suggest there’s only room for one woman in a group, that’s simply not true. There’s always space for more—let’s welcome each other in and get rid of this old narrative.
3. Build community
Reach out, share experiences, and lift each other up. Try connecting with someone every day—check in, ask a question, see how things are going, or find ways to show up and offer support. Sometimes that can make all the difference in someone’s day.
