在快节奏的科技世界里, it's often easy to forget the incredible accomplishments of women in the industry. 数字她, 该节目由全球最大的博彩平台数字公司运营, is changing that narrative by showcasing the achievements of women in tech and facilitating their entry into the field. 2023年10月10日, 我有幸参加了他们的灵感早餐, 一件让我深受启发的事, 动机, 并与科技领域的专业人士建立了联系.
The fact that this event was held on “Ada Lovelace Day” was an extra bonus, Ada Lovelace, 生于1815年, was a visionary mathematician and writer known for her pioneering work in the early days of computing. 她通常被认为是世界上第一个计算机程序员. So having the event for women in tech on this day was just the cherry on top.
The event kicked off with a room full of brilliant women from all corners of the tech sector, 大家齐聚一堂，聆听杰出的主讲人的演讲. 每位演讲者都分享了他们的个人故事和影响, 提供有价值的见解，与观众产生深刻的共鸣. 真是一顿鼓舞人心的鼓舞人心的早餐.
- 第一次谈话是由 佐伊古尔德 of 德勤的数字. It was an excellent way to kick off the event with a nod to the hit Barbie film (existential crisis Barbie that is) and how we could all relate to feeling that way at one point or another. Pressing further as we enjoyed our croissants and coffees to say that it’s okay to make mistakes and we should give ourselves more grace and embrace the 学习ing opportunities they present. It sparked some very interesting conversations about how we all could be kinder to ourselves in those moments and how that would impact positively in the workplace for ourselves and for others.
- 第二次谈话是由 Nadia约翰逊 of Quoria. It was lovely to see a software engineering director speaking so fondly of their time rising through the ranks from apprentice to engineering director. I especially enjoyed her emphasis on networking not for “profit” as such but to genuinely form connections with like-minded and wonderful people. These experiences exist for us to connect as people and 学习 and grow with one another. The idea that we should foster a community within the tech sector for our own wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around us was something I have taken away from this event.
- 第三次谈话是由 小姐穆尼奥斯 of GFT英国. After a lovely break to refill our coffee cups we were invited to write a personal accomplishment upon the inspiration wall (which was a genius idea and looking at all those different sticky notes from all these wonderful women was honestly a highlight of the event for me) we got to hear about how tough love and resilience made this talented and successful woman who she is today. It was a very personal talk and it resonated with me as someone who had changed careers not too long ago and was raised with a similar ethos of accomplishments being a currency for “being worthy”. Missy invited us to discuss how we would approach a younger relative, 我们是否会使用严厉的爱，为什么? 它引发了一些有趣的答案. I personally enjoyed the idea of a fellow table-mate who suggested there was a middle ground between cheerleading and tough love, more akin to a coach who pushes you but also gets you an ice cream when you’ve succeeded. 我喜欢这个主意.
- 第四次谈话是由 莉莎木 of Naimuri. Lisa had the honor of rounding off the talks for the event and she did it wonderfully. 她还在演讲中提到了芭比娃娃电影, 这正好说明了它的叙事是多么的有影响力. The idea that we should be our authentic selves and cherish the things about us that make us unique. 我们都有自己的长处, and we should use them to come 在一起 and celebrate what we can do, rather than trying to fit ourselves into boxes “because we should”. 她毫无歉意的真诚本身就是鼓舞人心的, and she painted a very positive image of how teams can be structured and supportive of one another. She asked us to consider how we can be more authentic in the workplace and that was a very good topic to round the morning off with.
总之, attending 数字她's Inspiration Breakfast was a remarkable experience that left me feeling 动机 and inspired. The event showcased the incredible accomplishments of women in the tech sector, 强调弹性的重要性, 自我同情, 追求卓越，不惧不完美. 此外, the unexpected references to the Barbie movie added a touch of creativity and relatability to the talks.
为科技行业的专业人士准备的, 尤其是在全球最大的博彩平台地区, I highly recommend keeping an eye out for 数字她 events in the future. They offer not only valuable insights but also a supportive community where you can connect, 学习, 和其他有才华的科技女性一起成长. So, if you ever get the chance to attend a 数字她 event, don't hesitate. It might just be the dose of inspiration and networking opportunities you've been looking for in your tech career journey. 毕竟, 在一起, 我们可以打破障碍, 打破玻璃天花板, 为科技世界更光明的未来铺平道路.
