However, the tides are shifting as more women take on tech roles and work towards leaving a legacy behind both for their families and organizations. They aspire to influence strategic decision-making processes, shape company culture, foster innovation, and drive diversity and inclusion initiatives. They envision themselves as change agents who advocate for gender equality that will help break down barriers and societal beliefs about women.
By leveraging their unique strengths, talents, and experiences, they are building their digital skills and harnessing the power of technology to rise and thrive in their careers. They want to step out of their comfort zone, take calculated career risks and stand in their power without doubting themselves.
But this hasn't been an easy road for many women who want to boost their leadership skills and build a successful and sustainable career in the tech industry. Besides the internal blocks and beliefs that hold many women back, they also face external blocks. These include unconscious biases, discrimination, being overlooked at work as well as spoken over in meetings. Family is important to them and they put their family commitments and the needs of others before their own as they manage their personal lives.
