If you're a woman, you may have felt that you're on an endless treadmill of proving your worth.

That’s "Prove it Again" bias in action. It's a pervasive double standard where men are often evaluated on their potential while women must continually prove their accomplishments.

🛑 This is how it might manifest:

🏆 Success has a gendered lens: When men succeed, their skill and talent are credited.
But when women succeed, it is often luck or external factors that get the credit.

🔍 And when it comes to failure, the scrutiny intensifies for women. A man’s error might be shrugged off and forgotten, but a woman’s? It sticks like glue as though it were proof that she didn’t belong in the first place.

How do we level the playing field?

1️⃣ By recognizing and challenging gender biases in the talent pipeline.
2️⃣ By celebrating women's achievements as loudly as we do men's.
3️⃣ By using fair and equitable methods to evaluate performance.
4️⃣ By normalising women’s success as a product of their skills and remembering their mistakes are steps in the learning process.
5️⃣ By asking yourself, whenever you decide about women - "Would I say or think that about a man?"

As a community OT, I’m privileged to visit clients in their home and hear their stories. I love meeting their pets and find this is a great way to establish rapport quickly.

Today I got to meet this guy. Those of you who know me, know I’m not the biggest fan of birds.

In my six plus years of working in the HCP I can say this was a first.
