In 2013, I was an executive at an international engineering firm

2013 年，我在舊金山的一家國際工程的公司

A culmination of all the skills that I've acquired over the years:

這是我多年來獲得所有技能的巔峰

storytelling, social impact, behavior change.

說故事、社會影響力、行為改變

and I worked with the nation's largest health care systems,

我和國家最大的醫療保健系統合作

to radically reduce their energy and water use

從根本減少他們的能源和說的使用量

And it was the worst professional experience of my life.

然後這是我人生中最糟的職場經歷

most of what happened were little behaviors and patterns

但發生的大多數事情都是出於細微的行為和模式

that slowly chipped away at my ability to do my work well.

這些事慢慢地削弱我做好工作的能力

They ate away at my confidence, my leadership, my capacity to innovate.

他們吞噬了我的信心、我的領導和創新的能力

For example, my first presentation at the company.

舉例來說，我在公司的第一次報告

to give a presentation on the strategy that I believe is right for the company.

介紹我覺得適合公司執行的策略

And I look around the room at my fellow executives.

And I watch as they pick up their cell phones

As soon as I start to speak, the interruptions begin

正當我開始說話時，就有人打斷我

and people talk over me again and again and again.

他們一次又一次反覆地跟我討論

and then brought up by somebody else and championed.

然後推舉其他人的想法，並給予贊成

Little behaviors and pattern like this, every day, again and again,

像這樣渺小的行為和模式每天不斷重複著

Pretty soon, my energy was absolutely tapped.

很快地我的活力已經完全消耗殆盡

在我很低潮的時候，我讀了一篇文章

about toxic workplace culture and microaggressions.

Microaggressions -- everyday slights, insults,

維冒犯 -- 日常生活的輕視、侮辱、

negative verbal and nonverbal communication,

that impede your ability to do your work well.

I started to realize that I wasn't failing.

every day affect underrepresented people of all backgrounds in the workplace.

都會影響職場上各種背景且不受注目的人

So, in the tech industry, we want quick solutions.

所以在科技產業，我們想要找到快速解決方法

But there is no magic wand for correcting diversity and inclusion.

但是沒有魔法可以糾正多樣性和包容性

一次變化可能發生在一個人身上、

We make a mistake when we see diversity and inclusion

當我們看到多樣性和包容性時，我們會犯錯

as that side project over there the diversity people are working on,

rather than this work inside all of us that we need to do together.

而不是我們所有人需要共同努力的這項工作

with unlearning what we know about success and opportunity.

that if we work hard, that hard work pays off,

we'd get what we deserve, we'd live our dream.

我們會得到我們應得的，實現我們的夢想

Some people have to work 10 times as hard

有人必須比別人付出十倍的努力

due to many barriers put in front of them by society.

這是因為社會造就了很多障礙在他們前面

your religion, your disability, your sexual orientation,

all of these can give you more or fewer opportunities for success.

這些都可以給予你更多或更少成功的機會

Allyship is about understanding that imbalance in opportunity

職場夥伴就是了解這些機遇不平等的關係

Allyship is really seeing the person next to us.

夥伴是會真的看到我們身旁的人

And the person missing, who should be standing next to us.

然後應該站在我們旁邊的人不見了

And first, just knowing what they're going through.

首先，必須知道他們遭受到什麼經歷

And then, helping them succeed and thrive with us.

然後幫助他們成功且與我們一起成長茁壯

When we work together to develop more diverse and inclusive teams,

當我們一起工作，就可以發展更多樣化且有包容性的團隊

data shows we will be more innovative, more productive and more profitable.

數據顯示我們會更具創新力、產能更有效率、也可以獲得更多利益

As a white, cisgendered woman in the United States,

to be an ally for people with less privilege than me.

去成為其他比我弱勢的人的夥伴

In the tech industry, like in many industries,

在高科技產業中，或在很多產業

there are many people who are underrepresented,

so people who don't necessarily identify as man or woman --

也就是不需要劃分男性或女性的人們

LGBTQIA, people with disabilities, veterans,

同志族群、身心障礙的人、退伍軍人

We have a major bias toward youth in the tech industry.

我們對在科技產業的年輕人有成見

There is always someone with less privilege than you.

總有人比你還沒有特權在這舞台上、在這間房間裡
