When Babies Become Taboo (Work/Life Balance)
It isn’t easy to break the news of a pregnancy to an employer; the topic is hush-hush from the beginning of the interview process to full-time employment. Timing is everything. Being an entrepreneur and starting a family when your company is still in its growing stage might not be the best balancing act. Neither is becoming pregnant before you’ve made your mark on the industry. Join me in this interactive presentation where I discuss how becoming a successful entrepreneur and Mom is possible.
What Do Women Really Need to Succeed?
At networking events, whenever I introduce myself to men, I brace myself for the usual joke, “well I’m not a women in wireless, but I am a male in mobile!” Why do women need a group like Women in Wireless and men don’t? What women really need is someone to give a little nudge, some reassurance, or even a smack of reality that they can climb the corporate ladder as fast as men do. Female entrepreneurship mentoring programs help to connect and empower emerging female leaders.
