Tarsha Bowman CEO/Founder at Ms. Mirage LLC	My Inner House Wasn't Equipped Yet! I was once asked a question "How do you find peace in a world of chaos?" My answer was quite simple, i once lived in a world where everything appeared messy. Although, it may have been instructions, I did not read the manual of life. On how to be a teenage mom, barely passing high school because I wasn't taking it serious at the time. I missed the memo on how to deal with low self-esteem, depression or how to handle being diagnosed with Lupus. I lived in silence the first nine years of my diagnosis. One day, I decided to break my silence, taking back ownership of my life… read more

Kanika Tolver Senior Project Manager at Department of Treasury	Be a Brand Not an Employee in Tech Title: Be a Brand and Not an Employee in Tech When you go into professional organizations, you need a solid personal brand that looks and feels good, too. Sometimes to get the salary you desire or get promoted to a higher level, you have to enhance your personal brand to stand out at work. Employees find a way to only do what’s asked of them, but personal brands find a way to market themselves through their education and professional experiences. This personal branding can be experienced in the way you deliver your task, how you dress, or how you conduct yourself in meetings.… read more

Kathryn Rose Founder/CEO at wiseHer	Stand Out for Success : Get Known Get Hired “A brand is what people say about you when you are not in the room” – Jeff Bezos, CEO Amazon What is common to a leader, a manager, a new recruit and an entrepreneur? Personal branding. Branding no longer relates solely to companies. In fact, today, every person has their own personal brand and it is up to each individual to cultivate, grow and protect their personal brand. Making a strong and favorable impression in business is far more than following a list of do’s and don’ts. Your image must benefit you not only in your organization but also in today’s culturally… read more

Melissa Carson Founder/CEO; Executive Coach/Consultant at Crim Dell Consulting	Limiting Beliefs...Why We Listen to the Voices in our Head You are Your Limiting Beliefs: Women often are the own worst enemies. We only apply for positions if we meet 100% of the criteria. We don't feel comfortable expressing our views if we're not sure all will agree. We're less likely to ask for the salary or the raise we want. We let that voice in our head that we're not enough win over the voice that tells us we're powerful. What if we were able to squash those limiting beliefs when they show up? You can download a workbook here to capture notes: https://crimdellconsulting.com/resources/ols/products/im-… read more

Linda-katerin Patiño Subeditora of Technology at EL TIEMPO	Online violence against women and digital transformation The absent of women in different tech areas is making them invisible in the new reality that development is creating. As it happened before, when women couldn't vote or go to school, if the voice of the half of the humanity is not being heard, then the discrimination will arise stronger with the current tools.

Mila DeChant Culture Scientist & Founder at Chief of Hearts - A Culture Science Company	Changing The Narrative of "Future of Work" to "The NOW of Work" Most of us romanticize about the concept of " Future of Work" without wanting to realise that the future can only become possible when we focus on the now and take action in the now. The pandemic has made the invisible visible in many nuanced levels of what it means to be a human and how our people show up the way they are. It is time to remove our blinders and check our blind spots as leaders to embrace the invisible struggles of our people and change the narrative of " Future of Work" that covertly harbours "culture fit" and stagnation. We have… read more
