Is there a glass ceiling in tech, or are we breaking through it? Women have made tremendous strides in technology, but gaps still exist. Despite increasing awareness and efforts to promote diversity, women still encounter barriers to entry and advancement in tech fields. It’s not just about getting more women into the boardrooms; it's about providing equitable opportunities at every stage of their careers. We need to challenge existing biases by fostering inclusive workplaces that value diverse perspectives. Mentorship programs, sponsorships, and targeted recruitment efforts can make a real difference. Let’s ensure that the next generation of female leaders doesn’t face the same hurdles and can thrive in an industry driven by innovation. How do you think we can support more women in tech? Share your thoughts below!

Today's Thursday Tech Tip is for young women in the tech industry: Embrace your unique perspective and skills. As a young woman entering the tech industry, particularly in managed field services, recognize the value of diversity in problem-solving and innovation. Your unique experiences and viewpoints can contribute fresh ideas and insights. Don't shy away from showcasing your skills, whether they be in communication, collaboration, or leadership. Leverage these skills and use your youth to your advantage. Just like this week's Motivational Monday post, disrupt the industry, disrupt yourself, and shine. #thursdaytechtip #careerdevelopment #careerchange #careeradvice #professionaldevelopment #professionalgrowth #techjobs #techcareers #techrecruiting #techrecruiter #teamgtn

A year ago, a tradition was started when Women Techmakers invited me to give a keynote about joyful productivity.

Here's a reminder to never give up and never believe there's something you can't do! Take this advice from Beate Chelette, a Growth Architect and Founder of The Women’s Code who sold her business to Bill Gates. “If I see others do something, I know it must be possible. If it is possible, then I will find a way to do it.” This sounds simple. And that’s exactly what she has done. Read about Beate’s experience on our blog: https://lnkd.in/giBwyDiR This throwback to one of our published interviews is a reminder of our mission at Gal Talks Tech. Technology is one of the key factors that allows women to be visible and present, today and in the future. Tech is a tool for new opportunities – to overcome geographical or workplace challenges, create new businesses or transform daily lives. We at Gal Talks Tech think it’s important for women to see other women working in tech or tech-related jobs. That’s why we spotlight diverse success stories – one interview at a time. Introducing women in tech worldwide is our way to show you can become one too. Because you can’t be what you can’t see. #womenintech #technology #tech

Reality check: - Women hold 47% of all US jobs, but only 25% of computing roles. (NCWIT) - Women-led companies perform 63% better than those led by men. (Fortune) - 72%, of women in tech report that they’re outnumbered by men in business meetings by 2:1—or more. (CIO) The issue isn't a lack of talent or ambition, but: - Unconscious bias in hiring and promotion - Limited access to mentorship and networking - Stereotyping and microaggressions Let's work together to: - Encourage diverse hiring practices - Provide equal opportunities for growth and development - Celebrate women's achievements in tech Join the conversation! Share your experiences and insights. #WomenInTech #TechLeadership #DiversityAndInclusion #DebunkingMyths
