Gentlemen, it’s time to step up and be the allies our female colleagues deserve.
We often overestimate our allyship skills, and women bear the brunt of it. So, let’s cut the overconfidence and get to work. Educate yourselves like your career depends on it—because it does. Attend events, read up on thought leadership, and expand your networks to truly understand and amplify women’s voices. When you witness interruptions or dismissals, don’t be a bystander— stand up and speak up. And for heaven’s sake, let’s share the load of those non-promotable tasks fairly. Together, we can create a workplace that’s not just diverse, but inclusive and damn successful too. Now, let’s be the allies we claim to be—no excuses.
