Session: Want to do better in your technology career? Look for ways to increase your sense of belonging and network
Highly talented women can feel like failures in male-dominated professional cultures. Gender studies blame stereotype threat, bias, and tokenism for the underrepresentation of women in these domains.
Navigating these challenges exposes women to more stressors and can lower their engagement.
By increasing their sense of belonging within professional settings, women can enhance their sense of well-being and perform better.
