Take a moment to reflect on how you can #BreaktheBias and do your part as we strive for an inclusive future for all.

For this year’s International Women’s Day theme, #BreakTheBias, I wanted to take that conversation a step further. Sharing our stories about the biases we’ve faced is only the first part. In order to truly #BreakTheBias and pave a clearer path for others, women—and men—must also reach out to other women and make sure all of our voices are heard.

International Women’s Day is a day to recognize the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It’s also a day that stands as a call to action for women’s equality, because there is still progress to be made.  This month at Cisco we are running a series of blogs on this very important topic.  Let’s all #BreaktheBias together.

I reached out to several of my female channel colleagues within Cisco and at our partner organizations and asked them a few questions about biases, advice they might have for other women, and what it means to them to #BreakTheBias.
