Press this podcast: a real way to improve speaker diversity

Run rodiverse in tech and provide diversity for those who want to confirm it. Tech mentioned the domain name earlier. Can you help me understand the work of diverse in Tech? Jb: so what we do specifically is technical meetings and help the company get more diversity of speeches from the lineup. Dv: very good. Not bad. The purpose of creating in this way is very good. So, please help me understand the diversity of technology from a personal perspective, such as why it is particularly important to you. The
Jb: OK. I started with the Wordcamp host in Vancouver. Moreover, in our activities, few women or excluded groups came to speak. Then we are called to it. In the end, we had 14% of all kinds of speeches, and people had private conversations with us. They talked about it in private. People pointed us out and they had a private conversation with us. They wrote a blog post for it. Then start to learn more about what is happening. We’ll talk about this later. But the reason why it is so important to me is that after doing this in Vancouver, I began to understand that more kinds of people are talking about what happened when more people said it, not about people. As a result, more kinds of people have accumulated experience in the field of technology, resulting in more speeches, organizers and leaders. Moreover, what it ultimately does is to create better technology, because it is included in products that create more people’s needs. And in fact, there are more ideas that benefit everyone. Even people who belong to the category of alcohol. The
Dv: so for you, it seems like a eureka moment. Traditionally, before the eureka moment at Wordcamp Vancouver, I am convinced that these questions are usually important to you. But experiencing that instinct is like waiting. No, you know, I want to drive people away, or do everything. I just really started from one place. I have a good list of Representatives you know. Diffraction structure. My friend at the meeting. I often have such similar experiences. I am called to go, and then I go back to like it immediately. But we didn’t get enough applications. Then it is almost the same as where the dialogue ends. They really don’t accept it anymore. I think what you are doing with diverse in tech, like \
JB: I like this question. So I’ll actually talk about what you just said. The most important thing is not to submit an application first. Many hosts said that we did not receive the volunteer letter. So how can we have more women? If there is no support from the beginning, there will be more alienated and underestimated groups. So it was the first mistake. And my job is to add extra support. So another big mistake people make is recruiting speakers. Welcome to apply
That is, what are we talking about? I don’t know anything. I don’t know much about any subject. And I am not an expert in any field. Moreover, because we are addicted to it, many people become the myth fragment of the speaker in front of the room through this small problem called liar syndrome. Please don’t belong there. And people will notice that what we see is only a matter of time. Compare what you think the people in front of the room are and who WordPress and many other open source communities actually dominate. Technology is that anyone can stand on the stage. There is no need to be the king or queen of SEO. If you know something, you can stand up and share. So we pass the myth. In addition, we also held a structured think tank seminar, at which there were 10, 20, 30, 40 ideas for people to talk on the stage. And others at the seminar, From other contestants and instructors \
This is really a difficult thing. If there is a personal, real way to do this. Because of the people you know and the real reason you’re persuasive. It is better to do so. But for most people, it’s best not to. I will focus more on people’s contributions. Because many people don’t have the same opportunity to go to college, I don’t want to focus too much on the advantages and qualifications. Dv: the problem is not as big as a speech. Yes, but I also saw many other communities. If people think so, it may be another community. Therefore, we talked about some positive things that the host country can do to solve this problem, as well as what you have done and various ways. Now I want to change my company. Most companies will choose people who will speak at the conference or participate in podcasts on behalf of the company, such as the event. Wait. Of course, many companies are finally trying to have more diverse ways of speaking on behalf of our company. Let’s start all over again. It’s always cool to learn from mistakes. What do you think are the mistakes made by enterprises in dealing with this problem? Jb: well, as we all know, this problem recurs in the last question. To say you are black, you have made many of the same mistakes. Do you want to say? That’s the kind that doesn’t ask in the right way. What I want to do is to answer this question with a simple story. In other words, in a company with a speech coaching program, I hired me and my employees to conduct one-on-one coaching, and was accepted as a speech. Then I told them. Well, what I really worry about is that many people have been alienated by your company and represent it. So this is a big focus for them. Then they said, well, it doesn’t actually work. Because, as in all other parts of the world, there are not many people who actually take action. We have a young, white, honest, born man, hands up. So we talked about holding a seminar to help more people see the value of actually raising their hands. So this is the same thing that people ask for. Therefore, in the seminar itself, we saw who was the expert on the stage and what kind of myths we could talk about. That’s the same. And the same mistake. The same tactics apply to demand stories. If it is done by individuals, people will shout in general at companies and meetings. Hey, we want more kinds of speakers. But what really makes a big difference is the actual direct invitation. That’s when people actually start thinking. Oh, maybe I can actually say. And, oh, they actually want to hear it from me. It’s not just a matter for others to deal with. Dv: yes, that’s a good guide. I know I’m not really from the speech group I represent. However, I have never provided support for the meeting before I personally participated in it. We know how much impact it will have on people. In my opinion, there are explanations here. Generally speaking, I think one of the mistakes companies make is that no one can represent the company. Because of the standards they set, they may have been approved to speak at meetings or have experience. But now in your position, there will be some people at the top who can do that, and they will give them some help. Dv:back to press this web master radio’s WordPress community podcast. This is host David vogelpohl. Jill binder and webby
Discuss how to improve diffraction diversity in me and activities. Before the break, Jill talked about some mistakes the company might make in order to increase the diversity of speakers representing the company. Training perimeter. They are essentially individual participants. Employees, managers and guests can guess and share meaningful things here and make public speeches. We need some extra support. What do you think of finding that diamond in Ralph? What can you do? Looking around the company, \
