Why there need to be more women leaders in tech / ep92

from Digitally Overwhelmed · host Cinthia Pacheco

I've told very few people about this (and now I wonder why) but one of the long term goals is my business is to contribute to more girls learning technology and coding. I still believe there are not enough women leaders in tech and this is impacting the world at large.   In this episode, I go through a couple stories about why I think having more women in technology could change we perceive the world and some science to back it up.   Finally, I talk about some key steps I think need to happen so that this slowly shifts to a more equal environment of women and men leaders.   Sources mentioned in the episodes:   Difference between men's and women's brains: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hope-relationships/201402/brain-differences-between-genders Perception and Emotions in Men and Women: https://www.powerofpositivity.com/ways-men-women-think-differently/ Tech Diversity in 2018 : https://www.recode.net/2018/6/21/17489450/tech-diversity-inclusion-women-leadership-engineer-culture Women Tech Leaders today: https://www.fastcompany.com/40547212/people-were-asked-to-name-women-tech-leaders-they-said-alexa-and-siri Organizations helping educate more women in technology and how you can get involved, Girl Develop It: https://www.girldevelopit.com/ Women Who Code: https://www.womenwhocode.com/ Black Girls Code: http://www.blackgirlscode.com/ Code Like A Girl: https://codelikeagirl.org/ Ladies get Paid: https://www.ladiesgetpaid.com/ Ask for it Book by Linda Babcock  and Sara Laschever   https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Women-Power-Negotiation-Really/dp/0553384554   http://digimorphs.com https://www.instagram.com/digimorphs/
