Use facts or data to support your position and insist that others do the same for theirs. Stay away from ideas that are based on emotion. Its hard to argue against the facts. I stress that on my team regardless of gender. All decisions should be based on facts, not opinions or feelings. This prevents strong personalities from dominating the team on every front. Hope this helps!
To the best engineers, scientists, and thinkers, something that is "hard" isn't something to avoid; it is something that begs for us to prove that we can do it. STEM is built on the very idea of trying something, failing, and trying something different. - Bryan Herbst [more]
