All of us have a common factor: the use of technology, and even more now. Finally, we will discuss how each of us can be part of this. Did you like this session? Share to vote.

Cecilia Chapiro Founder at Yunus & Youth	Corporate Leaders Using Technology to Accelerate Youth Entrepreneurship in Times of COVID Unemployed youth has risen to over 71 million people worldwide. One and again we see that the younger generation of social entrepreneurs have great ideas with grassroots solutions to tackle innumerable social issues, and though they are equipped with much enthusiasm and desire to challenge the status quo, they lack the business tools and guidance to succeed. Simultaneously, corporate women tend to be more sympathetic about social issues, especially today when COVID-19 is spiking youth unemployment levels and they want to contribute their skills and expertise to support SDGs… read more

Achia Nila Founder, Managing Director at Women in Digital	Empowering Women through Technology Access to technology, control of it, and the ability to create and shape it, is a fundamental issue of women’s human rights. Global Fund for Women’s Technology Initiative aims to help end the gender technology gap and empower women and girls to create innovative solutions to advance equality in their communities.

Tarsha Bowman CEO/Founder at Ms. Mirage LLC	My Inner House Wasn't Equipped Yet! I was once asked a question "How do you find peace in a world of chaos?"

On how to be a teenage mom, barely passing high school because I wasn't taking it serious at the time. I missed the memo on how to deal with low self-esteem, depression or how to handle being diagnosed with Lupus. I lived in silence the first nine years of my diagnosis. One day, I decided to break my silence, taking back ownership of my life… read more

Kanika Tolver Senior Project Manager at Department of Treasury	Be a Brand Not an Employee in Tech Title: Be a Brand and Not an Employee in Tech When you go into professional organizations, you need a solid personal brand that looks and feels good, too. Sometimes to get the salary you desire or get promoted to a higher level, you have to enhance your personal brand to stand out at work. Employees find a way to only do what’s asked of them, but personal brands find a way to market themselves through their education and professional experiences. This personal branding can be experienced in the way you deliver your task, how you dress, or how you conduct yourself in meetings.… read more

Kathryn Rose Founder/CEO at wiseHer	Stand Out for Success : Get Known Get Hired “A brand is what people say about you when you are not in the room” – Jeff Bezos, CEO Amazon What is common to a leader, a manager, a new recruit and an entrepreneur? Personal branding. Branding no longer relates solely to companies. In fact, today, every person has their own personal brand and it is up to each individual to cultivate, grow and protect their personal brand.

Melissa Carson Founder/CEO; Executive Coach/Consultant at Crim Dell Consulting	Limiting Beliefs...Why We Listen to the Voices in our Head You are Your Limiting Beliefs: Women often are the own worst enemies. We only apply for positions if we meet 100% of the criteria. We don't feel comfortable expressing our views if we're not sure all will agree. We're less likely to ask for the salary or the raise we want. We let that voice in our head that we're not enough win over the voice that tells us we're powerful. What if we were able to squash those limiting beliefs when they show up? You can download a workbook here to capture notes: https://crimdellconsulting.com/resources/ols/products/im-… read more

Linda-katerin Patiño Subeditora of Technology at EL TIEMPO	Online violence against women and digital transformation The absent of women in different tech areas is making them invisible in the new reality that development is creating. As it happened before, when women couldn't vote or go to school, if the voice of the half of the humanity is not being heard, then the discrimination will arise stronger with the current tools.
