Session: Workshop on Silent Sabotage: How Isolation Undermines Women Leaders in Technology
Leadership in tech can often feel isolating, a challenge that affects women at all stages—from emerging leaders to seasoned executives. This workshop delves into both external factors, such as systemic biases and organizational cultures, and internal factors, like self-imposed pressure and reluctance to seek support, that contribute to this isolation. Through interactive discussions and reflective exercises, participants will uncover how these dynamics manifest in their own experiences and develop actionable strategies to foster authentic connections and supportive communities within their professional spheres.
