Overview

Achieve success in a system built by men, for men. It's no secret the technology industry wasn't designed for women to succeed. Having risen from telemarketer to tech executive, author Kae Kronthaler-Williams knows firsthand how to mentor women as they confront sexism, racism, ageism, and other discriminatory behaviors still shaping corporate America. For women, this means navigating an environment never built to include or support us. It's tough to know how to respond to the mistreatment and microaggressions many face on the job. Speak up, and you risk being labeled ""overly sensitive"" or ""difficult to work with,"" losing more than you gain. Stay silent and endure to avoid rocking the boat-but at what cost? In Not Made for You, Kronthaler-Williams shares personal experiences and real-life stories to expose the biases that create barriers, offering techniques for raising awareness, finding support, and challenging the status quo. Discover the words to say, strategic tools to use, legal policies to consider, and tactics to: - Illuminate the realities of bias, discrimination, and harassment that women face in tech. - Navigate obstacles while growing, advancing, and being recognized in your career. - Support each other in the rooms where decisions are made-and where representation matters most. - Demand more than virtue signaling and insist on actions that drive lasting change. - Advocate for policies that prevent harm, uphold equity, and hold organizations accountable. Whether you've personally faced discrimination or want to be part of the solution for others, this book equips you with the knowledge and confidence to challenge bias, amplify diverse voices, and help build a more inclusive workplace. Not Made for You gives you the clarity and confidence to thrive-and be seen, heard, and valued equally.
