#58: FOUNDERS TALK: What we have learned about Gender Equality

---

Hey!

8th of March is International Women's Day. A day the topic of gender equality comes to the fore again and women receive flowers in many shops and restaurants. As you might have guessed, flowers is not what we want or what women actually need!

But what does Gender Equality, especially in a professional context, actually mean to you and me? What does it take for our society to get there? And who is responsible for achieving it? We - especially my co-founder Désirée - have been working hard on these questions over the past two years. In this FOUNDERS TALK episode, we take you on our journey of discovery and share with you our six personal biggest learnings. You will learn…

• How we, as female founders, are discriminating as well (no, we are not immune to it)

• How we learned that Gender Equality affects us personally

• Why we are not a female-only network

• Why it is so important that Gender Equality is / becomes a management priority in companies

• Why women are not responsible for building an equal society.

• Take-aways from the learnings for our business and your everyday life.

Enjoy this episode!
