Summarize this article:

Sometimes women struggle to be heard in the workplace. They are more likely to be interrupted or dismissed. Be an advocate for the women in your workplace. If you see a woman trying to break into the conversation, say, "I'd like to hear additional thoughts on the issue. Julie, what do you think?" Women often are not given enough credit for what they do in the workplace. If your female colleague comes up with an innovative way to streamline office communication, take some time at the next team meeting to say, "Let's all thank Kate for her great ideas about implementing this new system." People tend to give women vague feedback, such as simply saying "good job" or "you need to improve." Men typically receive much more specific feedback, which helps them to improve. Make it a point to give the women you work with helpful feedback. If you're a manager, you might say, "I really liked your ideas about how to improve productivity. Next time the subject comes up, I'd like you to volunteer to take the lead on implementing changes." Women are much more likely than men to receive negative comments about their personality. For example, a strong woman might be labeled "bossy" or "shrill". The next time you hear someone make comments like this about a woman, ask them for a specific example. You can also say, "Would you have the same reaction if a man had acted the same way?" Women often don't get enough credit for their accomplishments in the workplace. Make sure to acknowledge their contributions. You could say, "Julie brought in the most new accounts this year. Let's all give her a round of applause." Help increase female confidence by encouraging them to go for promotions or new positions. You could say, "You definitely have what it takes to be the team lead. You should apply!"

Summary:
Listen to women. Make sure women receive credit for their ideas and work. Give women constructive feedback. Challenge gender expectations. Celebrate and encourage women.
