Ms. Anne Doyle, speaker at the recent Women in NAAAP! (WIN!) regional conference in Dallas-Fort Worth, wrote for Forbes Magazine several insights she gained from our event:
- The biggest mistake Caucasians make about Asian Americans is to assume they think alike and share similar cultural backgrounds.
- "...a lot of people don’t think we’re up to the task. But of course we are,” says another conference presenter, Thear Sy of Accenture.
- Heterogeneous groups consistently outperform homogenous groups when solving complex problems.
