You might not be taken as seriously, more easily dismissed, or less likely to be listened to.<\/p>\n<p>There are women who are really direct and say what they want, and it\u2019s brilliant, but it is noticeable. Whereas a man being direct and saying what he wants doesn\u2019t feel noticeable. I think we still have a long way to go in terms of equality in those respects.<\/p>\n<p>I also think that women sometimes underestimate what they can offer, while I think men sometimes overestimate what they can offer. Each can learn from the other, but I think it\u2019s great when women find the courage to go beyond that.<\/p>\n<p>Across all industries, as a woman, you don\u2019t just have to be good, you have to be brilliant in order to progress.<\/p>\n<p><b>Katy:<\/b> When I was doing stand-up comedy, often I would be the only woman out of 10 acts. We\u2019re brought up in an environment where we are represented less, and so we\u2019re thinking: \u201cWell, I don\u2019t want to represent women badly, so I\u2019d better be perfect before I go in\u201d. The mindset being that if I\u2019m not perfect then what\u2019s the point of walking in the door?<\/p>\n<p>We see this pattern in business. A Hewlett Packard internal report found that a man will apply for a job or a promotion even if he only has 60% of the qualifications. If a woman sees the same job or promotion, even if she has nearly everything required, on average a woman won\u2019t apply for a job if she doesn\u2019t have the full 100% of qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s such a huge barrier. If you\u2019re not even in the room, how do you even begin to innovate?<\/p>\n<p><b>Amy:<\/b> Without trying to be too gendered about it, women looking to innovate are often in an environment where they are faced with loud, fast-talking men. Sometimes\u2014not always\u2014but sometimes, women don\u2019t communicate in the same way. This can mean that their voice is not as audible. It\u2019s very tricky if you find yourself in that culture and have to fight against it.<\/p>\n<p>When I first started working in the city, I was working for a management consultancy where this culture was prevalent. I actively practised being assertive. I started small; for example, I made suggestions in smaller teams or smaller meetings, or perhaps even one-on-one with a boss or a colleague. This continued until I built up my confidence to assert myself in larger environments.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_3{background-color: #FFFFFF;}&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;padder&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"makechildblue orange-underline\"><strong>What advice do you have for women to overcome these challenges?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>Susan:<\/b> My advice would be to try not to judge your own offers and contributions. Improvisers practice tuning out their inner critic in order to be able to generate a wealth of ideas on stage. Try not to judge your own ideas, particularly in the ideation phase of innovating. Try to practise embracing failure and celebrating your mistakes. The quicker you realise you can make mistakes and learn from them, the quicker you\u2019ll learn to be more resilient, agile, and adaptable, which will help you to progress.<\/p>\n<p>I would say it\u2019s all about trusting yourself and trusting other people. This applies to both men and women: don\u2019t judge yourself, and don\u2019t judge other people either. Focus on the fact that innovation means building something together. It\u2019s a collaborative process rather than a competition.<\/p>\n<p><b>Katy:<\/b> I think it\u2019s about knowing that failure is okay, and that learning from your mistakes is a positive. Even if you get kick-back from an old-school environment, maybe knowing this for yourself will help, even if you have to put up with some crap for it.<\/p>\n<p>I think finding a community with the other women in your environment is important too. Make sure other women are being heard. If they\u2019re not being listened to around a boardroom table, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2016\/9\/14\/12914370\/white-house-obama-women-gender-bias-amplification\"><b>the \u2018amplification\u2019 technique<\/b><\/a> popularised by the Obama administration. When a woman made an important point, other women in the meeting would repeat the idea as well as crediting it as her idea so it couldn\u2019t be drowned out. So you\u2019re calling out that it\u2019s their idea, who said it, and what it is, until that thing gets picked up on and talked about. Because no one can move on if all of the women in the room are still repeating that same thing! It worked as a brilliant way for women in Obama\u2019s inner circle to gain parity with men.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to remember is that women are not each other\u2019s competition. There\u2019s room for everyone, and the more we back each other up, the more space we have to be part of the team and to innovate. Get on board, agree, and have each others\u2019 backs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Amy:<\/b> In business we often find ourselves in a competitive environment. People are often competing to be the best, the fastest, the most clever. I think in those competitive environments women have often been socialised to step back, and it can be difficult to be heard. Especially if people jump in with judgements or criticisms before you\u2019ve finished.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you have to push against the crowd. That might involve addressing any interruptions you receive so that your point can really be heard. If you know that this is going to happen ahead of time, then you can plan and prepare for that in advance. That might mean you write down your points on a piece of paper, so that you\u2019re not railroaded by interruptions. Or you might need to go to your boss ahead of time and say \u201cIn this meeting, I\u2019d like to suggest that people are given the full time to speak before taking questions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Practice one of the core fundamentals of improv: give yourself permission to fail and cut yourself some slack. If you are able to get to a place where you are not judging your own offers before you say them, then it can give you the confidence to make more suggestions or speak out in meetings, or approach your boss with a project you have in mind!<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_4{background-color: #EEEEEE;}&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;padder&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"makechildblue orange-underline\"><strong>How do we create a safe space in a collaborative work environment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>Katy:<\/b> In terms of a safe space, it\u2019s about setting expectations. Putting people in the headspace where they know that they\u2019re safely allowed to fail. This is weirdly harder than you imagine it is to do because as soon as you put people into the work environment, they know they have a short amount of time to deliver on something good.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you create an environment where people feel that they\u2019re allowed to say their piece without being shamed or told they\u2019re wrong, then I think anyone is prepared to be vulnerable and say what they think.<\/p>\n<p>Also, make sure there\u2019s space for people. While there are people (like me) who are quite happy to bang on for ages about stuff, there are other people who might need a bit more permission or space. So, if there is someone who is quietly sitting there, maybe open the door and ask \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d. It\u2019s the same when we perform improv on stage: if you see someone who has been on the side for ages, you\u2019re going to initiate a scene that involves that person. It\u2019s the same as in a meeting. Why have you got that person in the room? Clearly they\u2019ve got something there that you need, otherwise why are they even there?<\/p>\n<p>Make sure there\u2019s space for them, and if you are one of those people who are assertive, why don\u2019t you shut up for a bit and see what you can listen to? Power isn\u2019t always in what you\u2019re saying; it\u2019s sometimes in what you\u2019re hearing.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_5{background-color: #FFFFFF;}&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;padder&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"makechildblue orange-underline\"><strong>How can we be more innovative at work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>Susan:<\/b> The whole mindset of improv\u2014creating a supportive atmosphere where we accept and build on each other&#8217;s ideas, and forgive each other <i>immediately<\/i> for mistakes that are made\u2014is one that encourages innovation. Be prepared to forgive yourself, and others, for presenting a first outline or draft of an idea that isn\u2019t perfect (it never is!). This will create a much more positive and supportive atmosphere where more original innovation is likely to happen than if you\u2019re creating an atmosphere where people are under pressure or being judged immediately. In those sorts of environments, it\u2019s much harder to take risks and get a foothold on an idea.<\/p>\n<p><b>Katy:<\/b> A lot of people quote \u2018quality over quantity\u2019, but actually, the more quantity you have, the more choice you have to pick the best quality from. In corporate workshops we\u2019ll often get people to list 50 ideas for something in a short space of time and then go back and pick the ones that work. People\u2019s first five ideas usually aren\u2019t the best ones. The best ideas tend to come further down the line.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment I\u2019m working for Cards Against Humanity. I\u2019ll write 30 white cards and from that I\u2019ll pick my favourite handful and those are the ones I\u2019ll end up pitching.<\/p>\n<p>So when it comes to innovating, start with quantity and set a time limit! It gets the juices flowing and you end up being less precious about each individual idea. Avoid letting your inner editor take over as you\u2019re generating ideas. If your critical brain analyses every single idea, asking \u201cIs this good enough?\u201d, you\u2019ll end up overthinking it and spending too long on fewer ideas. Focus on generating a tonne of stuff and then afterwards pick out the things you want to spend more time developing and innovating.<\/p>\n<p>Failure is such a weird word anyway. Saying that X amount of these ideas don\u2019t work is such a pointless spin on, \u201cWe\u2019ve had this one good idea because you\u2019ve spent time coming up with fifty\u201d.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_6{background-color: #EEEEEE;}&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;padder&#8221;][vc_column_text]<br \/>\n<b>Read more about how to use improv as part of your company\u2019s innovation strategy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hooplaimpro.com\/innovation-strategy\"><b>here<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Want to book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hooplabusiness.com\/\"><b>Hoopla Business<\/b><\/a> to deliver one of our Innovation Training workshops at your workplace?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Email us<\/b> or <b>give us a call<\/b> now.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1513269911583{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;light-testimonial&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1573824139002{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;]<div id=\"testimonials-slider\" data-options='{\"animation\": \"slide\", \"controlNav\": true}' class=\"flexslider nav-outside \"><ul class=\"slides\"><li><blockquote><p class=\"serif\">Thanks for the workshop.
