??They Want Us to 'Wait Our Turn'… But I’m DONE With That.?? Have you ever been told to “wait your turn”? To “be patient” for the promotion, the opportunity, the seat at the table? Let me tell you something: They aren’t "waiting" to give it to you. They’re giving it to someone else. Here’s what I learned: You don’t have to wait for someone to "pick" you. You can pick yourself. I stopped waiting and started creating my own opportunities: ?? I spoke up in meetings. ?? I shared my wins publicly (no more being “humble” in silence). ?? I asked for what I wanted — even when I didn’t feel "ready." Here’s what happened next: ?? People started noticing. ?? Opportunities started opening. ?? I stopped waiting and started winning. If you’ve been waiting for permission to step up, this is your sign. Take the next step. Speak up for yourself. Own your brilliance. ?? Drop a ?? in the comments if you’re done waiting. ????

Confidence & Community ?? I recently made the bold decision to take control of my career and make some impactful moves. One of those steps was joining #FemaleTechpreneur, attending the MK Innovates STEM Festival 2024, and becoming part of the #SquigglyCareers community. These amazing spaces are filled with women entrepreneurs at various stages of their journeys— all working towards what I believe is grabbing our careers by the throat. ?????? Confidence is something many of us struggle with, but it gets easier when we approach it with practical "dos and don'ts." Today's session with #FemaleTechpreneur, Bukky M. Babajide, Dr. Susan Izadkhasti, and my incredible career coach Dona Simpson was a powerful reminder that community, networks, and support systems are priceless. I’ll never forget asking Helen Tupper from #SquigglyCareers, "How do you overcome confidence struggles when everything else is in check?" And she reminded me—community is the free resource we can always tap into for cheer, wisdom, honest feedback, and that comforting reassurance that says, "I know exactly what you're going through." So, I encourage you to seek out and make the most of the resources in your community. Did I mention friendships and community are free? ?? If this resonates with you or you have thoughts to share, drop a comment or reach out. Let’s keep the conversation going! #Confidence #WomenInTech #CareerGrowth #CommunityMatters #SupportSystem #Empowerment #mkbusiness #femalefounders #femaleintech #techIncubator

Feeling valued, fulfilled, and rewarded for your impact – that’s what every professional woman wants. I remember a time when I wanted the same in my career. I was disciplined, focused, and worked hard, but I made the mistake of just sitting around, waiting for recognition and advancement to happen. It wasn’t until I stepped into the driver's seat of my career, taking proactive steps to achieve advancement, that I started seeing real change. Not only did I notice a shift in myself, but others began to see me differently too. And of course...my paycheck reflected that change. Every professional woman deserves to be recognized for her talents and contributions. But waiting passively won't get you there. Here’s what I did to turn things around: → Took control of my career path: I stopped waiting for opportunities and started creating them. → Advocated for myself: I learned to communicate my value and contributions effectively. → Followed the other strategies that I share in my free "Advance To The Next Level In Your Career - A Strategic Toolkit for Women In Tech". ?? Head to the comments to download it today to get allllll of the transformative strategies that have worked for me and my clients. #CareerGrowth #WomenInTech #ProfessionalDevelopment #Careers

?? Celebrating Women at developrec! ?? Following my post last week on the inspirational work that the team Tech She Can are doing to empower women in tech, I’ve been asked by a few people about how we’re championing diversity and inclusion in our own business. Globally, women hold only 32% of senior management roles in the tech industry and even less in recruitment, where women hold only 25% of leadership roles. ?? While these numbers are improving, we know there’s more work to be done to achieve gender parity in both technology and recruitment. At developrec, we’re proud to lead by example: ?? 40% of our workforce is made up of talented women ???? 43% of our leadership team is female – well above the industry average These numbers reflect our ongoing commitment to nurturing an inclusive workplace where women thrive and lead. I get to work with brilliant women every day – and you all know who you are! We’re committed to not just maintaining but increasing these numbers. Diversity and inclusion aren’t just initiatives at developrec – they’re the foundation of innovation and progress and they’re the backbone of our success. ?? To all women in recruitment and technology careers: whether you’re starting your career or leading at the top, your place at the table is invaluable. Together, let’s inspire, empower, and elevate! ?? #WomenInLeadership #GenderEquality #DiversityAndInclusion #TechRecruitment #EngineeringYourGrowth #WeAredevelop #Recruiters #Recruitment #FemaleTechLeaders #WomenInTechnology #WomenInTech #DEI

Last night, I attended my first Dallas ATW (Alliance of Technology & Women) network event, and couldn't be more inspired. DFW*ATW is a powerful non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the education and professional journeys of girls and women in technology, while increasing the number of women in leadership. ???? As someone who has spent years in the tech industry, I know firsthand how critical organizations like this are. My experience in tech has at times found myself in interesting situations as a female —a stark reminder of the gender gap that still exists in technology. ???? The reality of being a woman in tech: ? Attending a company dinner of which I was the only woman out of 13. ? Traveling for work and being the only woman in the group of 8. ? A sales peer asking me to accompany them to a client site because the (all-female) client specifically asked if they had any women on the team. ? And the icing on the cake—our organization was on lock down for travel budget, yet I needed to attend a crucial sales pitch. Since my male counterpart’s team had to cover my hotel, I had to check in while he was there paying for my room. Just imagine explaining that at the front desk, while around the corner there is an establishment catering to the?male clientele. ?? While these experiences have shaped me, I’m grateful that being a coach’s daughter ? ?? ?? and growing up around men’s sports prepared me to navigate male-dominated spaces with confidence. I learned early how to speak up, hold my ground, and find my place at the table. But not every woman gets that kind of preparation—which is why representation, mentorship, and support networks like DFW*ATW are so important. Organizations like DFW*ATW are essential in ensuring women are not just invited to the table but that we have a voice and a path to leadership. To all the women in tech: Keep showing up. Keep leading. Keep breaking barriers. And to the allies and organizations supporting us—thank you! Would love to hear from others—what have been your experiences as a woman in tech or as an ally? https://www.dfwatw.org/

Thanks to the inspiring panelists at the Women in Tech Breakfast at the TM Forum in Dallas: Chris Anderson, Stephanie Ormston, Merlyn Murthodi-Slivinsky, Andrea Austin, and Jean Lawrence. Here are a few key takeaways to fire you up: 1. Advocate for yourself.?Don't wait to be noticed. 2. There are many paths to enter tech without a tech degree. 3. Cultivate relationships across the org.?The most important career conversations happen when you are not in the room. 4. The path to success is not always the easy path. 5. Give yourself grace during challenging times. Brian Rosso Ward Kinney Maria Jose Fowler Mary Wells Anthony Behan Steve Moroski Violet Wittig Ron Wood #womenintech #womenindata
