    Re-engineer your Headspace

    Everyone is passionate about mental health, but no one redirects that to optimize your mind. The under-thirties community is full of nervous system dysregulation and stories about triggers and anxiety. The talented ones don’t always make it, but it’s not because they aren’t tough enough or they don’t work hard enough. The lack of awareness about the science behind the mind cost me an auto-immune condition; what is it costing you and your audience?

    I was an overachiever in engineering school, too sick to roll over in bed for the water on my nightstand. I ignored my body’s… read more

    Leading from the Inside Out: Explore, Embody and Express Your Unique Leadership Brand

    The glass ceiling -- the invisible barrier that prevents women from ascending to the career of their dreams. Gratefully, more or more women are adding their crack to that ceiling, creating opportunities for the women who are coming after them.

    There's another ceiling, the self-imposed drop ceiling that each of us erects with our own self-limiting habits and beliefs. It's as prickly and scratchy as the walls of our soft and cozy comfort zone.

    While breaking through each of these 'top limits' seem out of reach, there ARE steps we can take to… read more

    Addressing Supply Chain Data Risk with Structured Data Security Architecture Framework

    When considering assets that may need protection, the mind begins to contemplate homes, cars, and investment funds. In most cases, protection of those assets can be covered through security systems and insurance. Data is not the first thought that comes to mind that would need protection, even though data is at the core of most supply chain operations. It includes trade secrets, management of personal identifiable information (PII), and consumer data that can be used to enhance the overall experience. Data is considered a critical element of success for supply chains and should be one of the… read more

    Why Live Streaming is the Future of Ecommerce

    In the new cookieless world, brands will need to find other ways to understand who their audience is so they can continue to deliver personalized experiences. Social commerce is on the rise, but when brands use social media platforms they have to rely on third-party data, putting them in the tricky position of having access to their customers, but no ownership of their data. Frost will discuss how with live streaming shopping, Social Chat enables brands to run live shopping events directly on their websites, and bring their audiences together in one place while collecting first-party data.… read more

    Fashion’s Big Opportunity with Technology

    Between avatars, virtual try-on, AR/VR capabilities and the slow transformation of the digital shopping experience, fashion is at a critical point in it’s development process. With companies unwilling to walk the plank, be bold and try new experiential technology, fashion is stalling on the many ways of the future. I hope to explore the most exciting and cutting edge opportunity in technology, how they pertain to fashion and what we, as women in technology can do to aid its development.

    Contributing to Open Source

    Open Source thrives on community contributions in the form of event organization, marketing, communications, volunteering, and yes, even code. This helps the projects move forward and stay relevant.

    Not everyone who works on open source projects is a coder or developer. Smaller tasks help people increase confidence and gain experience, which, in turn, leads to more contributions. Code is very important and so are all the other parts. Contributing back to Open Source helps folks to feel connected with their community.

    DEI Culture Design: Infusing inclusion into tech spaces and work culture

    The unpredictable stress experienced these past three years has created collective vulnerability and emotional dysregulation. The patterns of stress, compiled with the many changes in our private lives, are making it even harder to attract and retain women, BIPOC, first gen, LGBTQ+, and other silenced identities within tech industries. Tech industries and STEM ed continue to see an exodus of diverse talent, despite the resources and efforts to address the exclusion.

    By centering wellness, working with employees, and creating psychological safety you combat vulnerability. Let’s… read more
