A reminder that the Squad meets tonight!

Will we be seeing you from 7 - 9 tonight at the Headlong Studios?

Back in the early meetings of The Awesome Lady Squad we identified a series of problems the Squad wanted to solve and some things we’d like to have to help to do. One of the most frequently mentioned “wish list” items were these:

• Skills to handle tough conversations about gender parity.
• A way to talk about this that doesn’t become apologetic or defensive.
• Something to say when I sense people starting to roll their eyes.
• The ability to talk and explain the “no” to a project that doesn’t conform to my moral code.

This meeting will be the first of several to tackle this issue.

Tonight we'll mostly be brainstorming solutions to solve this issue. Maybe we’ll decide on a workbook, a writing exercise, a checklist, a document with a series of go to argument points, something even more Awesome we can’t even yet conceive!!! If you want define what form it will take, strategize a plan and timeline for its creation, and figure out how to roll it out for the Squad at large, this meeting is for you.

Hope to see you there! And as always, stay Awesome!
