Hello-hello from your fellow IT comrade who had quite a winter: flu, cold, bronchitis, winter melancholy...I am finally back with a new episode.
In this episode of Splinter Business Stories, I talk about the "Boys' Club" and the reasons we do not see enough females among key decision-makers, managers, and stakeholders. This is my personal manifesto to all the female professionals who are paving ways to success, and to those who are just starting careers.
In this episode:
- The Story of N and her hustles and bustles of being an office "girl"
- Different experiences matter. Self-perception matters even more.
- Small talk on the importance of mentorship
- Post-feminism vs feminism vs reality
- Message for leaders and decision-makers
This was a very emotional podcast of mine. Just something personal to share. Some experience. Because that is who we are. We all are people. Males, females, we face so much crap in our lives that sometimes it's astonishing: how do we manage to keep up with everything?
And no matter how much we doubt, we still do what we are supposed to. We deliver. We make things work. We solve. We resolve. We become examples. We fail and become bad examples! And we live. Once I have heard that a person lives as long as his or her name is remembered. It's not about leaving a trace. It's about creating memories. So let's make this world suitable for everyone's memories and achievements; otherwise, someday, this world will be an empty cold cave with a sad name "Boys Club."
