Ask: How is having a team with gender diversity beneficial? Acknowledge all answers.
Do: Share this rationale from Gallup Research that suggests:
Viewpoints: Men and women have different viewpoints, ideas, and market insights, which enables better problem solving, ultimately leading to superior performance at the business unit level.
Resources: A gender-diverse workforce provides easier access to resources, such as various sources of credit, multiple sources of information, and wider industry knowledge.
Customers: A gender-diverse workforce allows the company to serve an increasingly diverse customer base.
Recruiting: Gender diversity helps companies attract and retain talented women. This is especially relevant as more women join the labor force around the world. Companies cannot afford to ignore 50% of the potential workforce and expect to be competitive in the global economy.

Say: Confidence builds by taking action and trying things you find hard, by going outside your comfort zone. If you work at that public speaking, bit by bit, you will become more confident of your abilities. You may never be perfect but that’s not the point, confidence is about facing obstacles and realizing you’re still alive even when you fail.
Do: Thank participants for their attendance and participation.
