One of the advantages of exploring new opportunities is that they often provide an opportunity to stretch our comfort zones. The International Business Women's Expo and Summit, held on December 6th & 7th, created several of those for me! One was having to capture a five minute video snippet capturing three of the key elements of the Optimism Advantage. Thought I'd share it here, as well. The Expo platform takes a very innovative approach to an online gathering - it feels like being in an "in person" event, without leaving home! If you'd like to see the booth I talk about in the video, there's a link in the comments. You can also sign-up to get free access to the "Optimism Advantage" e-book using the QR Code in the image in the comments. #optimism #optimisingoutcomes #optimismadvantage

Last night, I attended an incredibly inspiring event in Zürich for International Women's Day called Impact the Future: Shaping the Next Tech Revolution! The event covered a range of important topics including Women in Tech within Switzerland, the bias and lack of representation, personal experiences of the panelists, where the tech revolution is headed, and what we can do to contribute. It was an hour packed full of important conversations and another hour of an apéro that I don't think anyone wanted to end.   Some key takeaways: *Women in tech related jobs within Switzerland have only increased 1.9% from 1991 ( 26.8%) to 2023 (28.7%). *The tech revolution is here to stay, and women need to be involved – representation is crucial. *Less women are applying to tech-related jobs – more work needs to go into finding the obstacles in the way. *To not be ignored you have to be heard and to be heard you have to speak. Speak with thoughts backed with facts and data. *Networking, sponsorship, mentorship, and other unwritten rules are important. *Luck can be a big factor, but you can also create your own luck. *Don’t be afraid to ask for help – at the end of the day, we’re all winging it.   A huge thank you to the speakers, Diana Affi, Kemeng Zhang, Patricia F., and Gaëlle Andreatta, for sharing their insights and experiences, and the fantastic moderator, Daniella Laureiro Martinez, for leading the conversation. Thank you to the organizers, feMTEC ETH Zurich, Women Techmakers, and Women in Data Science (WiDS) Zurich, for making the magic happen. And also, a big thank you to all the attendees for your openness and new friendship.   Again, as a newcomer to Switzerland, I am blown away by the professional and warm reception I’ve received from fellow women in tech. Each event I attend leaves me feeling more and more inspired with what is to come. #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInTech #TechRevolution #Switzerland #Inspiration #RepresentationMatters

The Power of Networking: Unlocking Fresh Ideas and Collaborations As I reflect on my recent connections, I'm reminded of the immense value of networking. I've had the privilege of meeting incredible women who are making a significant impact in their respective fields. From Darlene, the founder of #FemAvenue, who's passionate about addressing menstrual issues, to Dr Tumininu, the founder of #homeoftastymealsnng, who's serving up love through food - every conversation has been a source of inspiration. My encounter with the founder of #Manukwainteriordesign was also truly enlightening, and I'm excited to see what Esther Aderibigbe, founder of #DigiTechNowAcademy, and I will create together! Reconnecting with Elizabeth Akinyemi, founder of #DataClickHub, has also sparked new ideas. This year, I committed to "show up more," and it's paying off. By putting myself out there, I'm meeting amazing people, learning from their experiences, and gaining fresh perspectives. The power of networking lies in its ability to: 📍Spark new ideas 📍Foster meaningful connections 📍Drive innovation 📍Create opportunities for collaboration So, don't underestimate the value of attending events, joining communities, and reaching out to people in your industry. You never know who you might meet or what ideas might emerge. Stay tuned - I have a feeling something spectacular is on the horizon! #Networking #Collaboration #FreshIdeas #WomenInBusiness #Innovation"

This is how we got here. 🛣 Since the Breaking Barriers Report released in 2023, we knew the conversation had to continue, but more importantly, it had to progress. Women were open and candid with us. They told us personal stories about the challenges that the tech industry presented. The next goal was to understand what women want and need to overcome those challenges. We sent a survey out to a community of 5000. But we knew that solutionising isn't just women’s responsibility; it requires change that everyone can take ownership of. So, we brought together businesses and reviewed the survey results. The organisations in the room shared successful initiatives supporting what women want, as well as sharing gaps and discussing what more needs to be done. Combining these insights, we conducted our own research on businesses leading the way in supporting women in tech. By shining a light on their strategies, others can be inspired. That is what makes up the "What women in tech want" 2024 report and our journey to getting here.

We have made it to Women's Health Innovation Series' FemTech and Consumer Innovation Summit in New Jersey! Two days of emphasizing about the importance of innovation and progress in women's health and sharing the challenges founders have experienced in this field have been both inspiring and frustrating. You can ask any woman about any aspect of their health and you will hear the same story - being ignored, not being supported, being lost and not being taking seriously. Their stories led to the boom of "FEMTECH" - a whole industry dedicated to change the norm and close the gender gap. Yet, there seems to be another story that is on repeat. Women who have taken charge and developed innovative products to tackle these issues are now out there and doing what needs to be done; however, their stories still remain the same - being ignored, not being supported, being lost and not being taking seriously. What this event does prove though is that women have two superpowers - resilience and empathy. It was such a joy to meet female founders who are so passionate about their work and are choosing to keep going every single day. Throughout their stress and constant struggles they also choose to help fellow founders to make sure that women's health is constantly progressing one way or the other. Shout out to the organisers of the event Aoife McGrath (Eefa) - it was great seeing you again. Very happy to have met many amazing femtech founders, especially the girls who took me out to dinner yesterday Maria De Santis, Amy Buckalter, McCall Brinskele, Leslie Feingerts, Rachel Braun Scherl, Jane Merten, Shagun Maheshwari - the dinner conversation will be one to remember. So many connections were made and it is exciting to see the collaborations that will flourish beyond the pond! Woost is always welcoming new partnerships. Let's rise together 🚀 #femtech #womenshealth #femalefounders #pcos #menstrualblood #beyondthepond #collaborations #letsstandtogether
