Women are making an impact in all sectors of human life, including business. According to the National Association of Women Business Owners, women now own over 11.6 million firms that generate USD 1.7 trillion in sales. And not to forget, these women-owned businesses employ approximately 9 million people.
While these numbers are quite impressive, women still lag their male counterparts in business. There’s more that needs to be done to boost parity. Here are six excellent ways of promoting women in the business world.
Encourage Women and Give them Responsibilities in the Workplace
Self-doubt can hold many women employees back when it comes to progressing in business. It is even though they might have the necessary competencies and knowledge to succeed. This scenario is referred to as the “Imposter syndrome” and is experienced more by women.
As a business leader or holder of an executive position, you can encourage a woman who displays this tendency to take on more appropriate responsibilities. Doing this will cultivate their confidence and self-belief, enabling them to maximize their contributions and reach their potential. Consequently, this improved productivity can help your business.
You can promote women in business by asking for their ideas, listening to them, and, most importantly, implementing them. If you are organizing a business meeting, you can start by allowing an equal number of male and female speakers. The same applies if you are bringing in guest speakers to the enterprise. The point here is to ensure that you provide women with an equal opportunity to share their thoughts as men.
You want all your business sessions to have a single voice across the gender divide. This way, you promote the women who would otherwise be left to the mercy of most men’s ideas.
Cite Women in Business Presentations
We have heard of countless quotes from male entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, to name a few. What we haven’t come across as often are quotes from female business leaders, yet there are so many of them out there.
You can do things differently by citing more women in your company. During presentations or when sticking up weekly quotes on the board, consider using quotes by women players in your industry.

Last week, ClubHouse announced plans to launch its app for Android, and now we see that this has happened and users can download the app from the Play Store.Clubhouse is a voice chat application that requires you to receive an invitation from someone who has already registered with you.
At first, only iPhone users running iOS could use the app, but eventually we saw it available on the Play Store so Android users could use it as well.Although Clubhouse is a fledgling app designed in the late 2020s, it has managed to reach more than 10 million weekly users in a short period of time, which is an astonishing number.
Of course, the main reason for the popularity of this application is the use of celebrities such as Ilan Musk, Kevin Hart, Mark Zuckerberg, etc., and when such people enter an application where you can chat by voice, a large number of their fans are definitely present.
Find.Clubhouse, however, if it was limited to iOS, it certainly could not continue to grow well, and the decision to release an Android version of the app was very clever, so that new users could enter it.
Clubhouse has released its Android version in a situation where powerful and popular applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Discord, Spotify, Reddit and LinkedIn have either added a similar feature or have announced plans to add such a feature.For example, a similar example of a clubhouse for Twitter is called Spaces, and Android users can also use it.
Spaces was able to attract a lot of attention in a short time and was well received.

NASA is planning to take humans to the moon by 2024 to stay.
Will Jeff's Blue Origin live up to the mark?
If you think that SpaceX and Tesla are Musk’s only companies, then you are wrong.
He also has a company named Neuralink that is going to work on a system that works as the brain-computer interface.According to the story published in the UK paper, Musk claims that they are working on an advanced project.
Neuralink is working on a chip that will be placed just directly on the surface of your brain.
Musk’s past statement hinted that the chips by Neuralink could help you in curing depression and addiction by the process of “retraining.” The chip has passed the animal testing stage, which seems to be quite interesting.
The human trial is going to start at the end of this year, but there are no official details out about further testing and procedure.The Advanced Chip Will Take Technology To Another LevelIt will prove handy and amazing when you can stream music directly to your brain.There must be some questions in your mind like, “Will the system rewrite your personality?” “Can you edit the content of your character?” These questions might go answered until the results of the human trial come out.
Neuralink said that using this device is like learning touch-and-play musical instruments like a piano.
We are living in 2020, the era of massive transformation.
Then why not do what we have been saying for decades- “Empower Women”.Among conventional societies, women were expected to be dependent on her father, then her husband and later on her son.
And, it still prevails among some social groups.Today’s women are strong, they are self-sufficient.
They have a choice, a voice of their own.Yet, the glass ceiling is persistent, the gender pay gap remains and women have to pay pink taxes.6% of companies on the Fortune India 500 list are managed by women.According to the World Economic Forum, it would take 108 years to overcome the gender gap and 202 years to bring parity in the workplace!
Besides gender parity, today’s women need to centre their spirits to:Believe in themselvesRecognise their strengthsOwn their successA women empowerment coach can help!
