In honor of International Women’s Day 2020, Mik is joined by three incredible women within the industry: Gail Murphy, Tasktop Co-Founder, and Professor of Computer Science and VP of Research and Innovation at the University of British Columbia, Nicole Bryan, Vice President of Product Development at Tasktop; and Naomi Lurie, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Tasktop.

Gail, Nicole and Naomi had an open, inspirational and thought-provoking conversation with Mik about:

  • Why technology companies should not only focus on code and algorithms but should welcome a diversity of viewpoints to create products that people want to use
  • Creating a work environment where women feel they can openly communicate their passion and show their emotion without feeling weak or judged
  • Leadership’s responsibility to facilitate meetings appropriately, and ensure women feel that their voices are being heard
  • Creating role model ladders and how women can support, educate and inform each other to foster gender equality in the workplace
  • How we can inspire more women at an individual, organization and industry level
  • New episode every two weeks. Subscribe to the Mik + One podcast today so you never miss an episode and don’t forget to leave your review.
