The 3 Pillars of Success for Women in Male-Dominated Industries
Due to systemic bias, women have a tougher time advancing their careers than their male peers. This is readily apparent in fields like tech, where women are in the minority. As a result, the women that do choose careers in tech often don’t achieve their potential, and many leave the profession altogether.
Changing the systemic biases of society and the working world is a critical mission, but for ambitious, career-minded women, that change just isn’t coming fast enough. This event will help women discover strategies they can use while waiting (im)patiently for society to catch up.
In a world where society discounts women’s voices, it can feel like your career is controlled by
everybody but you. This talk covers the foundational three pillars of success and survival in male-dominated industries that will help you to push your ambition as far as possible. We’ll cover:
- The box of “acceptable behavior” that society dictates for women at work
- Exercising all of your “inside the box” options for career advancement
- Feminist education & the beauty of the pity party
- Expanding your “box” through leadership to push you and other women forward
The goal of this talk is to give you a look at the road-map to a more empowered career in male-dominated industries.
