I recently was asked to speak at a conference on attracting and retaining women in the IT industry. This was mainly aimed at IT managers, HR managers and project managers.The topic I was asked to present was capitalising on female strengths in IT.
I stuggled at first as I wanted to ensure my presentation was positive and personal (tell my story). I really didn’t want the topic to focus on what women are good at and be seen as inferring that male colleagues necessarily lack these qualities (as they don’t). WE are all a mix of our background and experience and we use our strengths within the context of the situation we are facing.
What I discussed is that the typical female archetypes
These archetypes have both strenghts and weaknesses and the key is knowing when to capitilise on these.
Hi
This is Ashwan from SlideShare. I’ve noticed that you haven’t been able to embed a slideshow successfully. I’d like to help you with that.
I see you are using a Wordpress blog and the easiest way to get an embed to work is to disable the visual editor from your profile then edit this entry to post the embed code and then save and publish.
You can turn on the visual editor after that but just remember if you want to edit or post an entry with an embed code you will need to turn off the visual editor again.
Thanks Ashwan, have fixed the problem now
