Lost in Space: Risk, Reward and Women-in-Tech

Launching sideways from Animation into the rapidly expanding Tech Cosmos has been the best adventure of my life. I’ve found my people, my niche and I’ve never felt more connected.

But looking all around, this little rocket ship is not yet convinced it will be an entirely smooth-sailing journey...

So brace yourself for a light-speed journey through navigating risk and reward, dodging asteroids and deciding to become a 'Woman in Tech'.

Including learning to:
- Burn the right Brain Fuel
- Dodge the ‘Black Hole of Burnout’
- Identify Aliens and Imposters
- Build a strong Ship Maintenance Crew
- And convince the Mother Ship to keep course… no matter what it takes.

I don’t have all the answers for creating a toolkit to increase diversity in tech.

But I sure do have a damn good metaphor, decision-making trees, some great local stories and plenty of space cake.

So, sit back, relax and discover why I choose to #BeHer, even if I can’t always #SeeHer.
