No one chooses inequality: it advances through tiny automatic reflexes, and retreats through actions just as simple.
A colleague shares her idea; ten minutes later, a man repeats it, and he gets the praise. No one meant it, yet the whole pattern is there. This module teaches you to see these moments, then act: credit an idea to the woman who had it, put your name behind someone’s career, and spot where it all plays out again, from parenthood to leadership roles.

What you’ll take away
- the reflex of crediting every idea to the person who suggested it
- an awareness of the micro-decisions that add up and widen the gaps
- the levers to advance equality, even without decision-making power
Who it’s for
Women and men who want equality to make real progress in their team, in meetings as well as in decisions.
Learning objectives
- Spot the invisible mechanism: interruptions, judgments called into question, and ideas credited to others—minor alone, huge once added up.
- Practice amplification in meetings: give a woman credit for her idea, protect a woman who is interrupted, and balance speaking time.
- Sponsor rather than advise, and rely on shared criteria rather than a passing impression.
- Stay alert to blind spots: parenthood, which still weighs on women; the top of the pyramid; and AI that reproduces past biases.
