i doubt the people concerned about women in IT are also concerned about men in nursing, those are two distinct groups of professionals. and i don’t recall ever using the word ‘diverse’ with regards to this event, i was simply making an effort to help encourage women to come forward, share their knowledge, and be recognized. i am a coach by nature and that’s what we do: we encourage others whenever possible.
