Connecting Women in Technology

Sometimes, even when we’re surrounded by our colleagues in IT, we can feel quite isolated in the workplace and it seems to be that wherever we work our challenges are quite similar. Recognising this, Cisco, Dell, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Nortel and Oracle

Servant Leadership

We had a great question texted in to us for the panel discussion on Thursday - one that we couldn't answer. Tracy from IBM talked about how their women's group had gone out to South Africa and built two houses for the local community. She emphasised how

Networking for Women in IT

I'm still really overwhelmed to the amount of interest and positive feedback which has been generated by the event that I organised on March 6th. "Connecting Women in IT" was originally an attempt I dreamed up over a glass of wine with a friend in IT.

All connected up at IBM

I'm pleased that Jane and Louise thought that she'd been part of something special yesterday, it certainly felt great to be part of such a high energy and noisy event - so different to the technical events I attend with people (mainly men) standing around

I've started something

...and I'm really proud of this. Today I'm driving to IBM's main campus in the UK to deliver a presentation. Nothing unusual in that you may say, but the event that I'm speaking at is the fruit of an idea I had in December about bringing women in the

Female gamers and developers

I've been sent this interesting article about women gamers and women developers. They're a rare breed (we have no female developers in Microsoft UK and that's a huge shame). I do like the reasoning about why there aren't more female develoipers: " One

Have you got a male or female brain for DesignIT?

Phew. This is me... You're a genius! Results indicate that you have a predominantly female brain; and could be the next Nobel Prize winner, like Marie Curie. Using the right hand side of your brain, you're often innovative, rational and demonstrate amazing

IT forum - here I come

I'm really looking forward to IT forum next week. I'll be fresh back from my scuba diving holiday in the Turks and Caicos Islands, I'll be bronzed and relaxed and raring to go. (Don't worry, I've post dated this blog entry to publish when I'm out there

More and more girly geeks

It was great to see Emmeline, Sarah, David, Richard, and more (sorry - I forgot all of your names) in Nottingham last night . A nice convenient stop off for me on the way up to Chesterfield for the Exchange Unplugged roadshow. It's nice to see that women

Women in Technology: Thought provoking articles...

Dugie sent me a mailshot from O'Reilly which led me to their Women in Technology page (I totally love the logo, love the strapline Tatiana ). "O'Reilly Media aims to celebrate and give voice to the real-world experiences and concerns of these female trailblazers
