I am really looking forward to connecting with Women In Tech Boston attendees and learning about their individual journeys and challenges as women in technology.\u00a0 I\u2019m also excited to meet the other speakers and learn from them!<\/p>\n
Technology is an ever-changing space. When stepping up your career it\u2019s important to stay up on the latest and greatest products, architecture paradigms, and other technology advances.\u00a0 It is equally as important to continue to evolve your network; establish connections and visibility with your leadership, take the opportunity to blog or speak, and participate in conferences like Women in Technology.\u00a0 Your connections with others in this field are the single most important step you can take to evolve your career.\u00a0 We can talk more about why in October!<\/p>\n
The single biggest challenge facing women in technology is finding a culture and value fit. \u00a0 There are plenty of small, medium and large companies with inclusive cultures, where you can be authentic and add incredible value while growing in your confidence and skill sets.\u00a0 There are also still, sadly, plenty of companies where this will be harder. \u00a0 Understanding where you may be able to help those evolve is important.\u00a0 In some cases you will be able to move the needle, in others, you won’t – and it is important to not drain your energy on the wrong culture.<\/p>\n
Resilience is the ability to overcome obstacles and continue toward your dreams quickly. In my session, we will discuss the practice of\u00a0 “See it, Own it, Solve it” to meet and overcome challenges. This practice has served me well throughout my career!<\/p>\n
In my session at Women in Tech Boston, we will discuss strategies for recognizing obstacles, overcoming them and achieving success.\u00a0 There will also be an opportunity for introspection on what you’re driving for in your career and why; building an understanding of where your heart lies and not just what your head is telling you.<\/p>\n
Join Pamela Taylor-Paris for her session \u201cNavigating Your Career as a Woman in Technology<\/strong>\u201d at Women in Tech Boston on October 20 – 21st.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What are you looking forward to at Women in Tech Boston?
