“So many successful women in our industry demonstrate that women are recognized and respected for their professional contributions. I think respect has to be earned, not given, and a lot depends on the individual concerned. I also think we have to move ahead instead of constantly looking for gender bias. Women bring so much to their work environment – including the ability to multi task, show empathy, creativity, critical thinking, and commitment.”
