Business Coaching with G igi McCabe Miele

Like the American I am. I came to Australia with a lot of stereotypes. Oh wait, Melbourne is on a bay, looks like I’m taking surfing off my vision board! And oh, that kangaroo is a wallaby? You sure? Fooled me! And surely there’s better gender equality here. Cue the huge advertising campaign that was spread across all of Melbourne when I arrived 8 months ago about sexual harassment and work gender disparity. Shit, it’s here too. It’s a problem here too.
Like most worlds - it gets small, very very fast. So writing this I find myself not wanting to step on toes. But you know what? I’m mad. So toe-stepping I will risk, because it’s worth the risk and frankly, it’s time. Because toes will eventually get stepped on if they don’t scoot over and share room on the platform.
Wednesday night I went to a cocktail hour and panel hosted by Startmate, “Australia’s leading technology accelerator”. The event’s purpose was “to bring together the best women mentors and founders in Melbourne”. And there were a lot of men there, like, maybe 40% men. Which hey, as a feminist I know we eventually need to involve men to share the power they hold, so, welcome. But when it came to the panel Q+A, who raised their hands the entire time to ask questions? The men. So much so that the moderator, Nick Crocker, said "can we get more women to raise their hands?" Yea, you probably could Nick - women just wait until someone is done speaking before they raise their hand to talk.
I’ve been working with @oneroofwoman (a coworking space and incredible resource for women founders) on creating an program for women founders in Melbourne. We’re still working out the kinks on if it’s an accelerator or incubator and what to call it, etc. BUT this is what I know from the research I’ve done and interviews that I’ve had so far in speaking with over 20 Melbourne entrepreneurs and start-up stakeholders, there’s opportunity.
