>> Excuse me, Tyler.
>> All right, I’m just really glad that we’re having this meeting.

research on this topic, and I have found that one out of four women.
>> [SOUND].
>> Remain silent during group meetings because they’re.
>> [SOUND].

meetings because they’re afraid that their ideas won’t get heard.
