THREAD: I missed yesterday's #RealTalkRJ so I went back to listen to the final 15 minutes to see what happened. I am going to reflect more on dynamics between Ryan and Sarah first. Ryan was interrupting and overtalking. This happens to me (and all women) SO. OFTEN.
Men jump in because they are excited, disagree, want to challenge, or just want the chance to speak again. It is so habitual they often don't realize they are doing it. Women also interrupt each other and talk over, but typically women are doing it to agree or add on.

THREAD: I have stopped wishing for things to 'return to normal' and started hoping they will #ReturnToBetter:
Here's my version of better (what's yours?): 1. Less pollution, real action on
climate change 2. New (green) industry, innovation, businesses and opportunities
3. Greater equality based on the knowledge that when one of us is vulnerable, we are all vulnerable. 4. Robust local connections and stronger international collaboration 5. Full confidence in women leaders 6. Trust in science, scientists and experts
