It’s great that you can find just about anything on the internet in a matter of seconds with Google. It can be daunting, however, when you get 356,927 results. So when you search hot topics like “women’s leadership” to learn more about how women are succeeding in business, it’s easy to find yourself falling into a rabbit hole of blogs, books, and podcasts.

To make it a little easier on you, AIGA Indy has put together a list of resources that we think provide top notch information to help you succeed or learn more about issues women face at work.

Women in Design

• Women Lead Interview Series: AIGA executive director Julie Anixter spoke with AIGA Women Lead committee members and supporters who are stewarding in a new era of increased leadership and impact by women in design.
• Gender Equity Toolkit: Address gender disparity in the workplace head-on with this fun, interactive game. This toolkit offers three ways to question your own implicit bias, raise awareness of the disparities around you, and gain confidence in asking for a raise (or just affirm your stake in making decisions). Put these activities together and the toolkit is a great icebreaker that will help you address and discuss gender issues at work.
