What a fantastic initiativ!! 
I’m really looking forward to all the boards that will be created in celebration of the International Women’s Day – and all amazing boards that will be created in the future to empower diversity! 
For those who are working up to subject matter expertise and dreaming of being published in Miroverse or participate in this challenge, but aren't super confident with design, we invite you to match with experienced Miroverse creators to collaborate on a template together. Join us for the first-ever Miroverse Matching Game here!
Well said, @Henrik Ståhl! This is a special way to get all people involved in empowering women through Miro 
Think this is finally going to be my moment to become a full-fledged Miroverse Creator!

Miroverse Challenge, Womxn at Work
Entry by Deinika Elston, CX Designer at Meridian Energy.
Women Inventors that Changed History
Ice breaker or Energiser
Facilitators guide
This ice breaker or energiser has been designed to spark curiosity and conversation about the origin of some the most popular inventions over the past 200 years and the great minds that came up with them.
Women are under represented as patent holders but they have had a significant role in changing the history of their fields. This activity is a fun way to bring attention to some of these wonderful ideas and the unique perspectives that allowed these women the creativity to bring them to life.
How to use
Before the session:
- All answers should be hidden with the shushing emoji covers stored on the left. Covers can be locked to reduce accidental movement.
- Participation can be expanded by adding more stickies to the guess area or by grouping participants.
In the session:
- Read out each introduction with the female inventors name.
- Introduce but don't describe the three emoji's that hint at the invention.
- Allow between 1-3 minutes for teams to decipher the hint to make their guess.
- Once the time is up or guesses are complete, remove the cover to reveal the answer.
- Compare and discuss answers.
Discussion prompts:
- Did the answer surprise you?
- What about it did you find surprising? The year? The inventor? The story?
- What unique insight may have lead to this idea?
- How might we use the unique insight we have to invent new ways of doing things?
Bonus activity:
- Allow participants to ideate on the last question. Consider how we might use the unique insight we have to invent new ways of doing things.
- What problem or friction have you observed and how could you solve it?
- Is there a new way of solving an old problem?
- Or an old way of solving a new problem?
This template was designed to guide a small group of people into a journey of deconstruction.
In 1.30 hr session the participants will learn, reflect and will be empowered to start taking action to create a more diverse and inclusive workspace.
During the session:
1.Give definitions
Make your audience reflect on the different definitions and meanings of sex, gender, sexual preferences, intersectionality.
Ask them to match the terminology with the definition.
2.Reflect on the cultural heritage
Once the audience has a common understanding on the topic, guide them in a reflection on the cultural expectations on gender roles/ behaviours.
Ask the participants to drop the images and texts in the circle they believe is the most appropriate one (man/ woman).
3. Scenarios to reflect on workplace (in)equality
At this point it is time to bring the focus of the discussion in the workplace.
You can pick some scenarios to make your audience reflect on situations where different behaviours may appear depending if the protagonist is a man or a woman.
As a facilitator you can either:
Option 1
Duplicate this board and discuss as many scenarios as you want.
Experience suggested: Guide your audience in a deconstruction journey.
Option 2
Divide the group in break out rooms and ask them to focus on a specific scenario.
4.Commitments
Hopefully, when the discussion will be concluded, your audience will be finishing a deconstructive journey where some mental models will be broken.
Ask to share learnings and to brainstorm and commit on one action that can contribute to create a more diverse and inclusive workspace
Suggestions:
After each part of the workshop, stop sharing the screen, give time for reflection and enable and facilitate face-to-face communication.
Disclaimer:
Along this workshop there might be sensitive conversations that involved personal or intimate stories. Please ensure that the conditions for a safe space are met and respect if people don't want to share.

Patent Pairs is a quick icebreaker to get your team in the "sharing" mood ahead of your workshop or meeting.
There are some incredible female inventors out there, let's guess who invented what.
- Simply ask your team to place a dot next to the patent pair they think is correct.
- After the team has voted, remove the pair one by one to reveal the correct pair highlighting the incredible female talent behind the invention. Click and drag the item to the left or right of the frame to reveal the correct answer.
Intellectual property covers a wide range of topics from patents to copyrights to design to trademarks to trade secrets. It was fun collaborating with Taberer Attorneys to create this icebreaker. Taberer have made this seemingly complex subject easy to digest.
Your new favorite icebreaker and team building board is Womxn at Work: Mix & Match!
This board was created for the Womxn at Work template challenge for International Women's Day. It was created by @Henrik Ståhl, @Karen M, and @Alexis Luscutoff.
International Women's Day is powered
by the collective efforts of all
Collective action and shared ownership for driving gender parity are what make International Women's Day impactful. Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist and activist once explained, "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights." So, make International Women's Day your day and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women.
How to use this Mix and Match game
-
Look at the portraits
-
Match them with the name cards
-
Drag and drop the portraits and name cards to the empty boxes in the Playing Field
-
Count your correct answers
We hope you'll enjoy learning about inspiring women throughout history as much as we did!

And this board was made with love by MAQE creators 
This workshop will take us all through a ride to embrace differences. Along the way, we hope to introduce you the aesthetic of variation in leadership styles; hopefully we can lift each other up and no one shouldn't be not good enough to be a leader just because they're women.
This template is a part of Miroverse Challenge: Womxn at Work.
Facilitator Guide
- Team: Perfect for 4-5 people with a facilitator, good for any numbers of participants.
- 1+ Hour: This workshop can take up to 60 - 75 minutes.

1. Look at the next board, "5 types of leadership styles".
Get familiar with different leadership styles (5-10 mins).
2. Move to board "Stage 1 : Embrace". Complete 3 questions.
You can either do the discussion section by section, or complete all sections at once, then discuss at the end. Totally up to your style, we trust you 
(30 mins)
3. Move to board "Stage 2 : Respect".
This board aims to personify each leadership style and makes you all realise the talents around us (10 mins).
- Please note, each person can have the combination of styles depending on a situation and individual's interpretation. That's the beauty of it.
- Please share and discuss what you think!
4. Move to board "Stage 3 : Support". Appreciation time!
After you have realised the different styles, now try to see if there's any talented one that has been overlooked? Recognise their specialness and let the world know that you can't wait to see they rockssssssss. (15 mins)
5. This is coming to an end, reflect what you've learn during this workshop.
And one day we'll wait to see the society that embrace all and respect all.
Even you got lost in here, we hope you have fun :)

Compensation Negotiation Guide Template
Submitted by:
@pedro segreto: Independent Designer and Facilitator
@Colleen Curtis: Head of Community, Miro
Why?
There has been little to no progress in closing the gender pay gap in three decades. (source)
Every increase matters to achieve equity.
This template welcomes all individuals to assess their current leverage and company context to best prepare for a productive, dynamic conversation with a manager or prospective company as it relates to compensation.
Negotiation is an expected and healthy conversation. The more comfortable you can become negotiating armed with data, context, preparation and clarity -- the better equipped you'll be to succeed.
Strong negotiation is made of four stages:
1. understanding personal leverage context
2. preparing for negotiation conversation
3. conducting the conversation and appropriate follow-ups
4. aligning and confirming an agreement
How?
In this board, you will find instructions and a sample case that will guide you through the process and explain how to use the template in two moments: one to prepare yourself and a second one to conduct your negotiation conversation in a visual way.
