Gender Parity and the ROR: Return On Relationships (Part 2) with Emily Nichols
Quote: “Your words are a signal to the people around you about whether you’re truly thinking about their experience.” Emily Nichols
Words shape our world. You know when someone says “Hey guys”, and they’re referring to a group of differently gendered people? Most of us don’t even notice, but in this day and age, we really do need to be more aware of the language we use to avoid excluding or offending anyone. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re excited to welcome Emily Nichols to talk about her experience as a woman in engineering and how gender parity impacts the workplace.
This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1
Speaking from the stage or the factory floor, Emily works with organizations that want to equip their technical teams with human skills, so they can be better problem solvers, team players, and leaders. A professional engineer with decades of experience in manufacturing, Emily easily connects at all levels of organizations, inspiring deeper understanding and collaborative teamwork. And she makes learning fun!
