In this episode, my guest is Angie Vaux, founder of Women in Tech. We talk about the challenges faced by women in the tech industry and what needs to be done to help them thrive.

Angie shares her extensive experience and insights on navigating the "boys' club" culture, overcoming unconscious bias, and the importance of continuous learning and career development.

What we talked about:

• Women's experiences in male-dominated industries, specifically technology
• The "boys' club" culture and how it can hinder women's advancement
• Unconscious bias and microaggressions faced by women
• Importance of education and creating a culture of open communication for addressing gender disparities
• Strategies for career development in male-dominated fields
• Resources offered by Women in Tech Forum

Key Takeaways:

• The workplace was designed by men for men, leading to inherent biases against women and we need to be aware of that without judgement.
• Addressing unconscious bias and promoting feedback are vital for inclusivity.
• Women should take control of their careers, communicate their goals, and negotiate for their worth.
• It's essential to choose employers whose values align with your own.
• Constant learning and adaptability are crucial to success in the evolving tech industry.

In this episode I'm following on from the previous ep with Isabel Sachs to go deeper in the topic of networking.

I've had my fair share of ups and downs with networking and here I'll tell you about how and why I struggled.

But - I've also had some amazing experiences with networking too.

It's something I think all women should be considering as part of their career or business development.

I'm diving deep into some tips, tricks and mindset switches to help you feel like networking can be fun, instead of proper cringe.

This episode, I'm talking to Isabel Sachs, who is the founder of I Like Networking. She's an entrepreneur, she's a public speaker, she's worked in arts, culture and entertainment in Brazil and in the UK.

During the early stages of the pandemic she created I Like Networking, which is designed to help support women and non binary people in the creative industry with building a network, with building a profile, creating a broader scope of influence, with creating more access.

Networking is a really interesting topic to explore because a lot of people can feel like it's quite alien or that it's something that's quite difficult or maybe even intimidating.

We talk about:

• The importance of a network for supporting better representation and diversity
• How to think about your own network
• How to put yourself out there and how she manages failure
