This book takes a detailed, well referenced and well sourced look at just how biased Silicon Valley is against women and minorities. At times a distressing and disturbing read for the detailed descriptions of how the business world of the Valley is stacked against women.

Emily Chang’s book “Brotopia” looks at how Silicon Valley and the tech industry became so bro-centric and how it continues to permeate the culture. Many SDR and Sales cultures are no different. Walk around any Sales floor. With their podcast and work on this topic, Kasey Jones and Ashleigh Early have endeavoured to call out the elephant in the room and get leaders to start thinking about to make their culture more reflective of reality today. And thus, more successful. In this interview we go into why they started this movement, what can Sales Dev leaders learn from encouraging different voices, and what’s next for Brotopia!Dive in here!

Branża IT chce otworzyć się na kobiety. Postęp dokonuje się powoli. Dlaczego? 2.Na czym polega środowisko nieprzyjazne dla kobiet? 3. Jak zmienić sytuację kobiet w IT? Czy w ogóle trzeba to robić?

WE’RE BACK!!! Welcome (back) to Zero Sum Empire, the podcast that’s taking a critical census of the mostly-anonymous American billionaire class. Sorry we’ve been gone for so long. Joe was on paternity leave. Please like, subscribe and share. In the News: Vinod Khosla is back with some new lawsuits to keep those pesky surfers off of the public beach he thinks he owns. That leads us into a discussion of his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince MBS and Peter Thiel. Then that leads us into the absolutely crazy story about Jeff Bezos’ dick pics, the National Enquirer, Saudi state propaganda in Wal-Mart, Thiel’s Palantir data analytics company. Billionaire #1: Fisk Johnson 1/10 on the David Koch Memorial Asset Liquidation Index Fisk Johnson is CEO of S.C. Johnson, the cleaning products company that makes Glade, Windex, Drano, Ziploc, Saran, Pledge, Method, and a bunch of other products you’ve probably used. Fisk Johnson is our first “1” on the D.K.M.A.L.I. That does not mean his assets should not be liquidated. It just means it’s somewhat less urgent to take his money than most others we’ve covered. For a cleaning products company that deals with a lot of chemicals, S.C. Johnson’s environmental record is sparkling. They also seem to have relatively sane labor practices. In truth, because it’s a privately held company, there’s a lot about them that we simply don’t know. Chad talks about the company’s “welfare capitalist” model and why any apparent positive outcomes of this model are not sustainable or replicable for most companies. Billionaire #2: Joseph Liemandt 5/10 on the David Koch Memorial Asset Liquidation Index Joseph Liemandt started Trilogy Software and ESW Capital, an investment company that buys software companies. While that might be incredibly boring, Liemandt makes up for it by being a party boy when he’s off the clock. Details are scant, but he was a subject of Emily Chang’s Brotopia, and according to her he “wrote the bro code” that created a hostile environment for women in Silicon Valley tech (link to article below). After creating a software company that mostly produced toxic masculinity, he went on to start a “Global Software Sweatshop” that employs a truly dystopian employee surveillance technology called WorkSmart, “a FitBit for how you work.” Liemandt: “How A Mysterious Tech Billionaire Created Two Fortunes—And A Global Software Sweatshop: https://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanvardi/2018/11/19/how-a-mysterious-tech-billionaire-created-two-fortunesand-a-global-software-sweatshop/#655dbd846cff National Enquirer and Saudi Royal Family: https://apnews.com/d293d282a9ec4d0c83fe0a25ff5f285c References on S.C.

Guest Becca Bailey gave a talk at ReactConf in 2019 called The State of React State in 2019 and will be giving another talk at an upcoming conference. She gives a summary of her ReactConf talk, which was inspired by her experiences she has had as a developer. In her talk, she talks about different tools and testing for state management. She and the panelists discuss how to recommend changing tools to a team instead of individuals. She shares some experiences from her job. They discuss ways to keep a work culture from turning toxic and how to start the conversation about state management. The React experts talk about strategies when you chose something for a project that ends up being the wrong decision, and prevent poor decisions like that in the future. It’s important to strike a balance between preparing for the future and anticipating it. Becca and the panel discuss alternatives to using Redux for state management, and some of the advantages of using it. They discuss how to decide what is put into local versus global state and how to know when you can depreciate shared state. Becca has helped teams decide what conventions they will use moving forward for managing local and global state, which gives you a standard for code reviews that reduces decision fatigue. They discuss common use cases for refactoring. Put simply, refactoring becomes necessary when it becomes hard to make simple changes. Becca also talks about being intentional about managing team culture and ways to prevent problems from arising in the future.  Panelists Thomas Aylott Dave Cooper Charles Max Wood Guest Becca Bailey Sponsors NxPlaybook.com - Use code ‘NXDEVCHAT’ for 50% off the official https://nx.dev/React Advanced Workspaces course!  G2i ____________________________ > "The MaxCoders Guide to Finding Your Dream Developer Job" by Charles Max Wood is now available on Amazon.

Emily Chang’s Brotopia (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/547571/brotopia-by-emily-chang/) exposes the toxic monoculture of masculinity in the Silicon Valley. For Lin, it solidifies the conviction that journalists make compelling arguments in good stories backed up by a wealth of examples, so she recommends the book not just as an example of the perniciousness of promoting sameness, but for its energetic style. Many good reviews have persuaded Margrit to go back to watching Russian Doll on Netflix (https://www.netflix.com/ca/title/80211627), and they’re here to urge more people to enjoy its hopeful message that resilience comes not from individual struggle, but from finding your community of people who are not the same as you.

Dans “Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys' Club of Silicon Valley”, l’autrice Emily Chang dépeint la Silicon Valley comme un environnement machiste, hostile aux femmes et aux minorités. Avec Vanessa Destiné et Charles Trahan

Emily Chang serves as the anchor and executive producer of Bloomberg Technology. Her San Franscisco-based TV show features interviews with the tech industry’s top executives, investors and entrepreneurs. Last year she published her first book called Brotopia: Breaking up the Boys' Club of Silicon Valley, which turned into a national bestseller. It examines gender inequality in tech and how women were left out of the greatest wealth creation in history. Emily is a Harvard grad who started her career in local news before becoming a foreign correspondent with CNN. She has been referred to as one of the most influential women in tech. You can follow her at @EmilyChangTV.

In 2018, Emily Chang's Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys' Club of Silicon Valley made national headlines, further opening up the conversation around discrimination, sexual harassment and toxic work environments taking place across industries and in Silicon Valley. One year later, join Chang and moderator Aileen Lee, partner at Cowboy VC and founder of All Raise, the new nonprofit dedicated to strategically engaging more women and minorities in the founding and funding of technology-driven companies. In this powerful expose, Chang reveals how Silicon Valley got so sexist despite its utopian ideals. Drawing on her deep network of tech insiders, Chang sheds light on how hard it is for women to crack the Silicon ceiling and offers insight on what companies and employees need to do to bring down the “brotopia” culture once and for all.

SPEAKERS Emily Chang Anchor and Executive Producer, Bloomberg Technology; Author, Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys’ Club of Silicon Valley Aileen Lee Partner, Cowboy VC; Founder, All Raise—Moderator This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on March 14th, 2019.

Die Tech-Branche wird von Männern dominiert, dabei waren es noch vor ein paar Jahrzehnten vor allem Frauen, die für die NASA oder das Militär programmierten. Astrid Maier und Milena Merten sprechen darüber, wie der Sexismus in die Tech-Branche einzog, warum die #metoo-Debatte im Silicon Valley ihren Lauf nahm und was wir gegen die Ausgrenzung tun können. Special Guest in dieser Folge: Barbara Schwarze, Professorin für Gender und Diversity Studies an der Fakultät Ingenieurwissenschaften und Informatik der Hochschule Osnabrück.

It's never particularly easy to raise a round of venture capital — but I think most experienced founders will tell you its not quite as bad the second or third time around, when you've got some experience under your belt and a track record to present to VCs. It helps if you're male too, at least according to all the data out there on the gender funding gap in VC. The leadership team at OODA Health, a startup developing technology to make the U.S.

Emily Chang is a best-selling author and host and executive producer of Bloomberg Technology. Earlier this year, she made waves with her book “Brotopia,” an expose on how sexism became pervasive in Silicon Valley, despite its utopian ideals. Drawing on interviews with some of tech’s biggest names, Emily shines a bright light on a big problem. In this episode, Emily joins Spencer at Zillow Group’s San Francisco office to discuss her inspiration for the book, how the tech community got to this point and what we can do about it.

Emily Chang, a Harvard University graduate and five time regional Emmy award winning journalist currently working as Bloomberg Technology's anchor and executive producer, joins IVY to discuss her new book Brotopia. An exposé into how Silicon Valley's sexist, aggressive, and misogynistic culture creates an environment where women are subject to toxic workplaces and sexual harassment despite the utopian ideals and moral high ground that the Valley claims to hold. In her book, she continues to discuss how to fix this culture: bring down the Brotopia.

In this second installment of our special MAYtriarchy series, we explore mothering change in the tech world with Bloomberg Technology anchor, Emily Chang, in conversation with her own mother, Sandy. In her recent book, "Brotopia," Emily sheds light on the treatment of female technology professionals. We discuss Emily’s campaign for workplace equality, how Sandy combats her daughter’s book trolls, and the best advice Emily ever got from Sheryl Sandberg. Emily Chang is the anchor and executive producer of Bloomberg Technology, a daily TV show focused on global technology and Bloomberg Studio 1.0, where she regularly speaks to top executives, investors, and entrepreneurs. She was previously a CNN correspondent based in Beijing and London, and has won five regional Emmy awards for her reporting. Her work has also appeared in Vanity Fair and Bloomberg Businessweek. Emily is a graduate of Harvard University and lives in San Francisco with her husband and three children. Sandy Chang is a proud mom, grandmother, and writing teacher.

On April 26, 2018 the Silicon Valley Speechwriters Roundtable Held a conference call with Felicity Barber. Felicity is the Executive Speechwriter at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. She is a communications expert specializing in thought leadership, storytelling and speechwriting. Prior to joining the Fed she ran her own business, Thoughtful Speech for three years. She moved to San Francisco from London in 2014 where she was a speechwriter at the global insurer, Lloyd’s of London. She has also worked as a Policy Advisor to the Home Office in London and as a Parliamentary Assistant to the Labour Party member for Islington South and Finsbury, Emily Thornberry MP. The call covered a wide range of topics including: The focus of the book Felicity wrote that was presented to the Queen (and Her Majesty read). The origin of the term 'underwriter' (as in the Insurance industry, not someone who is a junior speechwriter...) How Felicity broke into the speechwriting business in London. A comparison between the work of a speechwriter in the UK and USA. Her observation that the publishers of anthologies of famous speeches rarely include those given by woman. The impact of the young women such as Emma Gonzales who survived the shooting at their school and spoke out against American gun culture. The advantage enjoyed by the younger generation of speakers who are social media natives. Notable speeches by women such as those by Oprah Winfrey, actress Anne Hathaway and the secret speech of MzBhaver Raver. The UN Women Instagram account as source of inspirational women speakers. An appreciation of the work of Denise Graveline promoting women speakers. The challenges faced by women who work in the "Brotopia" culture of Silicon Valley tech companies and the urgent need for that industry to recruit diverse talent. The value of women mentoring women, for example by Women who Code and Anitab.org The challenges faced by women in politics and lessons speechwriters can learn from the Hillary Clinton campaign and the views of communications director Jennifer Palmieri. The value of building a long-term relationship between a speechwr1ter and speaker. The rise and fall of women in tech (as a percentage of programmers). The pervasive influence of Silicon Valley on our economy, culture and politics as revealed by Norm Cohen in The Know-It-Alls. How to address the imbalance in the ratio between male and female speakers? What influence can speechwr1ters have? The prominence of women in the National Speakers Association including Past-President Patricia Fripp. To hear these and other topics discussed click on the podcast icon below.

In Silicon Valley, women only hold 25% of the jobs. And companies led by women receive only 2% of the funding. The magnitude of this inequality is severely underrecognized, as Silicon Valley is responsible for creating the technology that dominates our day-to-day lives. While software development involves “user research,” at some point during the design process, the team (mostly comprised of straight, white men) makes an executive decision on how the product will control user behavior.

Emily will share where women in tech stand today and how we can increase their station by exposing and ending the inherently sexist practices that currently plague Silicon Valley.

The tech companies in Silicon Valley have changed the world in the past few decades, but one thing that new technology hasn’t solved is sexism. Author and Bloomberg Technology host Emily Chang discovered while writing her book “Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys’ Club of Silicon Valley” that the gender gap is even worse than she had believed. In this ScribdChat episode, Chang breaks down the numbers and experiences of women in tech with TaskRabbit founder Leah Busque. Together, they talk through the “pipeline problem” and reassert their belief that if Silicon Valley companies can solve many of the world’s problems, it can definitely tackle sexism.

As public reckonings with harassment and discrimination abound, it's becoming clear that the vast majority of these incidents go unreported. We check in with Dr. Julia Shaw, co-founder and Chief Scientist of Spot, a just-launched harassment reporting tool that aims to fix this. Along the way, hosts Phil Libin, Jessica Collier, and Blaise Zerega discuss the likelihoods for artificial general intelligence and artificial super intelligence, which some people have likened to God. We also announce the first selection for our Book Club: Brotopia.

"My book is about the experience of women in Silicon Valley. It is called BROTOPIA: Breaking Up the Boys’ Club of Silicon Valley. It is my first book. And I wrote it because while Silicon Valley is an incredible place that's created incredible things, there is one glaring flaw and that is that women have largely been excluded from the greatest wealth creation in the history of the world. There are very few women building and working at these companies."
