“Last year had a female in my team. I remember my thoughts during her first month in the team… she was insecure and I was not sure whether she is good. On top of it she joined my team at the same time with a male who was very capable and very confident. But then I got to know the girl and learned that she is actually also very good and just hid it because of the insecure / more cautious appearance. I ended up promoting her skills and capabilities internally, and got her a more senior role. She is now on maternity leave hence the guy took some advances but she is joining us again in few months. She is my commitment to prove to myself that we women can support each other. And also such a classic example of very similar level of skills and experience that are perceived differently at first sight due to differences in self confidence!”
