International Women’s Day
2016 – Washington, DC
Video Transcript
Molly Bauch,
Technology Strategy
Manager, Accenture
From a micro perspective, it means
what we can do as professionals on
our teams, within our communities
of practice, within our work, to
deliver that value.
Molly Bauch: We are here today to
talk about the 12th Annual
International Women’s Day. It is a
day where Accenture comes
together globally, coast-to-coast,
continent-to-continent, to talk about
how we close the gender gap. And
the theme is Greater Than. So we’re
going to be asking folks what does
Greater Than mean for Accenture?
From a macro perspective it means
what we can do as a company to
deliver extra value, to push the
needle for women’s voices.
So we’re going to have a
conversation. Come with us. It
should be great.
What does the day mean for
Accenture, for you?
Lisa Mitnick, Managing
Director, Accenture Digital
and International Women’s
Day Executive Sponsor DC
Lisa Mitnick: It’s all about women’s
empowerment. It’s all about
women’s empowerment. It’s so
exciting to have all these women
here celebrating women, equality,
gender equality and, you know,
when you invest in women’s
education, it really helps everyone.
Molly Bauch: What do you want us
to take away and bring back to
Accenture?
Lisa Mitnick: Have impact. Don’t
just focus on yourself or your work,
but really think about what you can
do for others. You can really make
a difference and it doesn’t have to
be in some developing country.
We have people that need help right
away; whether it’s volunteering for a
KIPP D.C. event or some other nonprofit in the area, or just getting
involved at your kid’s school.

Scott Selby: I think the
Ambassador’s presentation
resonated with me in terms of her
journey line and impacting,
influencing change based on having
a different equation to the solution.

Manager, Accenture
Keelyn Henderson:
Mindfulness really is kind of key to
be not only a healthy person, but a
healthy professional as well.
Benny Lorenzo, Business

Manager, Accenture
Benny Lorenzo: I think it’s about
getting more involved and
understanding your personnel, not
only on gender basis, but on every
single form of diversity that exists.

climbing, also be sure to lift others.

pay it forward.
Molly Bauch: So, today, we heard
some great messages about paying
it forward, being Greater Than, about
having more confidence and being a
mentor to others. If you’d like to
share your story about what you’re
doing being Greater Than, take a
one-minute video and post it to
