  • Rebecca spoke at our Gender Equity Tech dinner this month. She spoke about the confidence gap - a topic that resonated with everyone in the room. Her talk covered the psychology behind the phenomenon and provided practical takeaways. Her presentation was empowering and thought-provoking for everyone in attendance, which made for an energetic networking session following the talk! I'm thrilled that Rebecca joined us for our event and I look forward to opportunities to see her speak again in the future.
