As we celebrate World Social Media Day, let's acknowledge how social media has transformed our world in countless ways, connecting us across continents, breaking barriers, and giving everyone a voice. It's a platform for innovation, creativity, and unity. Here are a few reasons to celebrate: Fostering Innovation: Social media allows us to share ideas and spark conversations that lead to new solutions. We encourage open communication and collaboration, fostering a culture of innovation that benefits everyone. Empowering Voices 🗣: Social media amplifies diverse voices. Through initiatives like our DEI podcast series, Namaste Tech Talks, and Health Tech with Purpose, we elevate diverse voices and perspectives, sparking movements and positive change. Building Communities 🤝: Social media connects people through shared interests, fostering communities like Startup Grind where learning and growth thrive. Spreading Knowledge & Opportunity 📚: We, at Mindbowser, are proud to be a carbon-neutral company. We're also excited to announce our upcoming Return to Work Campaign, designed to empower and support women re-entering the workforce after a career break. This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting women professionals at every career stage. Let's use these platforms positively and responsibly. Let's uplift each other, spread kindness, and make the digital world a better place for all. How has social media positively impacted your life?

What is the correlation between my son's 6th birthday today and the Glaring Gap Summit? Well becoming a mother was the event in my life that fueled my professionally trajectory. It actually started before he was born, when I knew I wanted to become a mother someday and that meant I possibly had to leave scientific research to find a job that would be more flexible, family friendly and afford me the personal and professional growth I needed. The idea of a non-linear career path seemed daunting at the time, but retrospectively every opportunity thereafter has built one upon the other. Flash forward 6 years to today where I am sitting among 50 women entrepreneurs, fellow angel investors and the brightest minds the start up community can offer coming together to learn and support one another. Thank you Embarc Collective & ReliaQuest for the 5th annual event! Each year this program connects, educates, and empowers women from all walks of life to close the gender gap for women-lead start ups and investors. On Day 1 a common theme that resonated with me was to find your reason "why" and use that to anchor your vision, goals and help find connection. Everything I do, and don't do, is for my family. That's my anchor. That is what motivates me and also what helps remind me where my true priorities lie. I am unapologetically a mom first, employee second, investor third or whatever else comes along the way. It's gotten me this far in life and I'm excited for what connections will come next. On to Day 2! #glaringgap #angelinvestor

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

Recently, I've had the privilege of connecting with incredible women in the tech industry and women leaders who have paved the way in this field. The conversations have been truly enlightening and incredibly inspiring. It's fascinating to hear about the diverse challenges they've encountered and how they've navigated and overcome them to reach where they are today. On a positive note, it's encouraging to witness the growing support for women in tech, but it's also clear that there's still much work to be done, and even small changes can have a significant impact. 🚀 From these conversations, I've gained valuable insights: 🤍Every individual faces unique challenges, some of which are met head-on while others require more time and attention. 🤍Our diverse cultural backgrounds and past experiences mould us into who we are. It's vital to acknowledge and celebrate these differences, understanding that there's no "one-size-fits-all approach" to work or self-promotion. As women, let's champion and empower each other in this space- especially if you're a leader. 🤍Don't let anything stop you from wanting a career and having a family - you can have both (as hard as it sounds!). 🤍We can also use our past experiences to inspire us to build our future the best way we can! These key takeaways are certainly not limited to the world of tech but for any type of workforce. I, included, have some action points to work on from these conversations, and most importantly, it is great to see that I'm not alone! There's more connections and coffee's to be had with incredible women- if you're in tech and want to connect with me - reach out! I'd love to hear from you! A shout out to Alex Gray for helping me kick-start these conversations and for fuelling my passion in this space! ✨

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?

Yesterday was the last day of Whitney Wolfe Herd's era as Bumble's CEO.   From a humble start out of her apartment to the world's youngest female self-made billionaire.   She also was the youngest woman ever to take a US company public.   Below are a few tips from her latest MasterClass (which I absolutely loved)   💡Spark a Big Idea: - Look at what is broken in society, and figure out how to make it better.  - Then around that formulate a business. - Make the first move.   🤔Key Questions to Identifying Opportunities: - Where are the opportunities to accelerate the mission? - Where are the opportunities to enhance the why of this business? - How can I push impact further today?   👑To be Great, Innovate: - Continuously question the relevancy of your ideas. - Refuse to accept frustrations as a given. - Turn risks into superpowers.   Bumble's empowering quote, "Become the CEO your parents wanted you to marry," has become iconic under her leadership, reflecting a philosophy of self-reliance and empowerment.    She is stepping down as a CEO but moving forward into an Executive Chair and getting back to her founder roots. And that's a bold move. I am sure your next chapter of growth will be even more exciting, Whitney. 🌟 Inspired by stories of powerful women in tech like Whitney?

🌟Reflecting on the power of personal branding, tech, and women in business🌟 I had an eye-opening meeting with Stacy Njimu last Friday, diving deep into the realms of personal branding, technology, and the evolving landscape of women in business. 💼💡 We delved into the pivotal role platforms like LinkedIn play in empowering women to stand out in their careers. It's incredible to witness how this platform has become a beacon of opportunity, fostering connections, and amplifying voices. 🚀✨ Yet, as we discussed, there's still room for growth. We're both passionate about seeing more platforms dedicated to nurturing the network of current female founders and future leaders of women-led startups. 💪👩💼 👩💼 How has LinkedIn or other networking platforms helped you in your career journey?
