Welcome to our May ALLY TALK – this time with Doron Avraham, engineering manager with Pure Storage – Czechia.
What needs to happen for more men to be willing to support women’s work, careers, leadership, and dreams in the workplace? What are men not knowing – or perhaps reluctant to hear? And what can we do together to empower men to see the real value cross-gender collaboration, co-creation, and co-elevation brings to us all?
This, and so much more, is the topic of our ALLY TALK with Doron Avraham, engineering manager with Pure Storage, a global company specizlied in data service management. Our talk takes place on Wednesday, May 7, 2025 (18.00 to 19.30 CEST).
Besides the questions above we will also discuss:
- How Doron realized he might be biased towards women – and what kind of biases emerged when he engaged in deeper self-reflection.
- What actions he undertakes in order to overcame gender bias – and what practical recommendations he has for other men.
- How to talk about gender bias with men and women in the workplace.
- How to nurture a mindset and behaviors that support respectful co-creation and co-elevation in any environment.
At the end of the workshop you will leave with:
- A touching personal story on how we can become more by noticing and overcoming our bias.
- An example of a genuine, supportive dialogue about what we should know about each other in order to work better together.
- Concrete ideas on how to talk to men about gender bias and how to encourage men to become your supporters and allies.
- Tips, tricks and strategies on how to attract more male allyship to support your dreams and advance your career.
- So much more.
