impactful chapter over a decade

attention and solutions to the
problem of bullying when her
son became the target of bullies.
Kim took action as a mother
and a professional and lessons

offer guidance for how we can
better manage the imbalance of

Featuring an IWL Foundation Breakout Session
"Own Your Own Unconscious Bias"
presented by Diane Bailey-Boulet, IWL Board Member
|
"We all have unconscious bias; it doesn't make us bad, it makes us human." As humans, we all develop and carry some level of bias that stems from mental shortcuts but ends up affecting the way we see the world around us. Instead of shying away from our biases, we must face them head-on, looking introspectively to recognize where they come from so that we can overcome these barriers to progress.
|
|
In this IWL created workshop, you will learn:
- The roots and triggers of unconscious bias
- The effects of bias on our interactions in the workplace and how to recognize it
- How unconscious bias can lead to gender bias
- Ways to manage your bias to be more effective in professional and personal relationships

Equal Pay Day was originated by the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) in 1996 as a public awareness event to illustrate the gap between men's and women's wages. It signifies the day that women have to work to in the new year to make the same amount that men did in the previous year.
In 2017, women in Indiana made 74 cents to every dollar a man made, and in Kentucky, 82 cents to the dollar. We know that this isn't the way it should be, and we have the power to fix it. Keep an eye out for upcoming IWL events this summer, including "Community Conversations" aimed at bringing the right people together to break down barriers like equal pay that women in the workplace are up against. Together, we can make a difference!

Our theme for April is "
Better Together" in honor of our upcoming Louisville conference. What a timely theme with the groundswell of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movement. Being better starts with each of us looking at ourselves, understanding who we are and the gifts/talents we bring. We are each on the way of becoming the best version of ourselves. We can all support each other - women helping women, men helping women, women helping men, men helping men. Be intentional this month by
getting together with a coworker, friend, or family member, and deciding on three ways you can advocate, serve, and encourage those around you. Focus on being better together with optimism and courage.
