Women and Sexual Harassment – How to Be an Ally to Women at Work
What can you do if you think a woman is being harassed at your work place?
Are you afraid to simply be yourself around other women at work because you might end up in hot water?
And is it ever safe to share an off-color joke with another woman?
Jeanine Becker has spent most of her high-profile career usually being the only woman in the room. Today she’s going to help us understand how we can be a better ally to women who may be the target of sexual harassment. And the good news? There are no damsels in distress. She doesn’t think we need to rescue anybody. Make sure you listen to the very end — I think our very last exchange is the best part of the talk.
In this interview:
- What you can do so that you don’t feel so uptight around women at work
- Why powerful women aren’t “looking for injustice” from their male co-workers
- What to say to a co-worker if you think she may be the target of sexual harassment
- Why you don’t need to be the hero or some Prince Charming
- What you can do without fearing you may lose your job or offend someone
