Women in tech are often rewarded for being agreeable, which can also hold them back.
In this live conversation, Limor Bergman Gross and Victoria Nelson will explore why so many high-performing women default to over-accommodating, why “nice” is not the same as kind, and how to negotiate, lead, and speak with authority without losing authenticity.
We’ll discuss the double bind women face at work, the tension between being seen as collaborative versus authoritative, and practical ways to build executive presence, self-advocacy, and confidence under pressure. The conversation is designed for women in tech who want to be respected, visible, and effective without becoming someone they’re not.
