Geek Girl Laura Whalen - THRIVEcast 053

Laura Whalen is one of our favorite women in Information Technology. Not just because we can totally geek out with her about IT memes, Star Trek, Ducks, Possums, puns... or whatever... but because she has a genuine heart for building community. Today we’ll go behind the scenes and see what Laura’s journey was all about! Laura is a generally fun person that was instrumental in founding the Citrix CTP program and “Geek Speak” at Synergy. She was instrumental in helping Nutanix with their early community programs. You can find her these days building a caring community at Workspot (https://www.workspot.com/) OR find her geeking out on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/shegeek _____________ THRIVEcast special - get a copy of DJ's book Just Do THIS and learn his secrets to success in Information Technology beyond the tech.
