"Ever feel like reality is more twisted than dreams?"The Wives Colangelo are closing out Pride Month by introducing Harmony to the punk rock cinematic world of Gregg Araki and celebrating 30 years of THE DOOM GENERATION. Sometimes being a teenager feels like looking down the end of the world, and no one understands that feeling quite like Xavier Red, Jordan White, and Amy Blue. Let's talk about this middle finger to American conservatism, pro-polyamory, bisexual disasterpiece. This isn't queer as in "love is love," but it is most certainly queer as in f*ck you.----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----MONTHLY SUPPORT SPOTLIGHTalQaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity and Queers in Palestine (https://alqaws.org/)----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

This week on Tapod, Bonnie Crook steps in as guest co-host and we catch up with Lauren Humphrey, Co-Founder and CEO at The Mintable All of us think we're great Managers right?

In this episode of the Elevate Women in Tech podcast, host Kellie Kwarteng engages with cybersecurity professionals Lisa Ventura MBE FCIIS (founder of Cybersecurity Unity), Richard Wilson (Group Head of Information Security at Spirax Group), and Amelia Hewitt (founder of Hewett Partnerships Limited and Cybaid) to explore the critical importance of genderDiversity in cybersecurity.Key Topics Covered:The Business Case for Diversity: Statistics show cybersecurity teams with above-average gender diversity are 35% more likely to identify novel attack vectors and 21% more effective at detecting security incidents before significant damage occurs. Recruitment Challenges: With women making up just 22% of the UK cybersecurity workforce and only 19% of FTSE 100 CISOs, the panel discusses the substantial skills gap in the industry and explores how to attract diverse talent through skill-based hiring rather than focusing solely on traditional qualifications.Early Education Misconceptions: Amelia shares how career perceptions form as early as age seven, emphasising the need to introduce cybersecurity concepts in primary education and challenge stereotypes about required skills for the profession.AI and Diverse Teams: The panel examines how diverse teams create more resilient security solutions by challenging assumptions, avoiding groupthink, and spotting blind spots in systems - particularly vital when developing AI security measures.Retention Strategies: The conversation highlights the importance of retention through inclusive policies like caregiver allowances, flexible working arrangements, and benefits that support all employees' needs, not just parents.Featured Insights:The myth that cybersecurity requires a strong technical background prevents many talented individuals from applyingAI bias in recruitment tools may be filtering out qualified candidates from underrepresented groupsThe cybersecurity threat landscape is evolving, requiring diverse perspectives to anticipate and counter new attack vectorsCreating truly inclusive workplaces requires understanding what different employees actually want, not making assumptionsWhy Listen:This episode delivers practical advice for organisations seeking to address the cybersecurity skills gap by attracting and retaining diverse talent. For individuals considering a career in cybersecurity, the panel offers encouragement to look beyond traditional pathways and recognise the value of varied skills and perspectives in the industry.Listen now to discover how gender diversity creates stronger cybersecurity teams and what actions you can take to break the binary in your organisation.Keywords:Gender equity, cybersecurity, diversity, recruitment, retention, women in tech, skills, talent attraction, neurodiversity, AI in cybersecurity, career pathways, inclusive workplace, skills gap

Partner Digital- Oliver Wyman Sind Männer angesichts von Quotenfrauen wirklich benachteiligt? Woher kommt der konservative “backlash” mit tradwives und sinkender politischer Repräsentanz von Frauen weltweit? Und noch wichtiger, was können wir dagegen tun? Darüber diskutieren wir mit Dr. Kai Bender, Partner Digital, der sich bei der Beratungsgesellschaft Oliver Wyman für Inclusion und Diversity einsetzt. Er stellt fest: “Du hast einfach eine bessere Atmosphäre bei diversen Teams, das ist auch geschäftlich wichtig. Die Unternehmensberatung ist notorisch nicht divers, da dürfen wir nicht nachlassen. Genderdiversity ist das dringendste und offensichtlichste Thema. Fakt ist allerdings auch, Frauen unabhängig von Familienwunsch, finden die Beratung nicht so attraktiv, da müssen wir bessere Angebote machen.” Wir sprechen auch über die u.a. von Oliver Wyman publizierte Studie zu Teilhabe zu Frauen in politischen Führungspositionen, Klassiker der Literatur und dem Teammeeting in Tropical Islands.
