Girls in Tech Catalyst Conference: Day One insights
Today was certainly a great way to kickstart the 3 day conference for Girls in Tech! Whilst I will be posting more detailed summaries on some topics post-conference, I wanted to keep you guys up to date with the first glance of what’s to come, live from Phoenix, Arizona.
The day top and tailed with some incredible talent. Kara Swisher (@karaswisher) opened the day, moderated by Kym McNicholas (@kymbee), who set the tone for the day. Kara’s communication style was so authentic and unapologetic, she had the audience from the word go.
Mary B Kranston had some wonderful insights into her own career trajectory, limiting beliefs and talked about the gender bias research and how gender roles and gender perceptions are set pre-verbally which is why it’s been hard to push for change. She gave us her top 5 patterns to success in male dominated career scenarios.
Tania Katan (@taniakatan) rounded out the day with impressive flair and energy. Not only is Tania the award winning author and creator of #itwasneveradress, she impressed the crowd with her real life story telling and focus on finding the human element in technology.

8 年Love the idea of dual careers and secret talents! I think it's so important to recognise those strengths and bring them out of your team or people you're working with, even if it's not written in their job description.
