Since the onset of COVID-19, we’ve grown accustomed to all-day loungewear, our new hybrid work life, and the ever-changing landscape of social norms, but nothing could have prepared us for the drastic jump in gender gap statistics. In a matter of 12 short months, the gender gap between men and women increased by 36 years: that’s parity in pay, education, and job opportunity. We’ll need an edge to close that gap, and poker might just be that edge.
So, why poker? Why not? Poker is a medium for confidence, strategy, negotiation, behavioral science, and risk assessment. These skills are fundamental when competing for jobs, internships, closing deals, and asking for what you deserve.
