Lost in tech? Find Your Path to Success with These Tips I participated in the March edition of TekNexus' "My Tech Transition Story" virtual event, and it was a game-changer. The speakers' journeys were truly inspiring, offering a roadmap to navigate your tech career ascent. They tackled three fundamental questions that every strategic career-builder ponders: 📌 Where am I going? This is all about foresight. It's crucial to define your career goals and set clear targets to achieve them. 📌 What will it take to get there? It's time to assess your toolkit! Identify the skills, certifications, and project experience required to land your dream role. Don't forget the industry internships that can give you a head start. 📌 How much am I willing to invest? Success comes at a cost. Be prepared to commit your time, energy, and resources to continuous learning and improvement. Here are some golden nuggets from the session to propel your tech journey: • The Goal-Setting Advantage: Know your destination! Chart a clear course for your career path. • Leave Your Mark: Wherever you work, ensure your contributions are visible. Build a strong track record. • Target your dream companies: Identify your ideal workplace. Do your research! Audit your skills to see how you can add value, and tailor your applications accordingly. Even if you don't land the role initially, seek feedback to learn and improve for the next opportunity. • Certification Counts: Industry certifications add weight to your resume. • Showcase Your Skills: Don't be shy! Share the projects you've worked on across your social media platforms. Let the world know what you're capable of. A huge thank you to TekNexus Africa for organizing such an inspiring virtual event! And to the speakers Abiola Eniola Aminu Dara Olayebi and Ebinehita Ihayere, PMP ®, your journeys and insights were invaluable. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. #TekNexus #CareerGoals #Upskilling

Tonight I had the privilege of attending an awesome 🔥 event hosted by Spark New Zealand and NZTech. The evening revolved around a crucial topic: addressing the participation gap of Māori in Aotearoa's technology sector. The insights shared by Lee Timutimu Heather Polglase Rhonda Koroheke Megan Gibbons and Naomi Manu shed light on the intricacies of this issue and a path forward towards greater inclusivity. 🌎 The event emphasized that this conversation isn't about capability; it's about equity 👏🏽 The focus should shift from questioning Māori participation and capability in the tech sector to navigating the systems of exclusion that have persistently hindered the progress. One key takeaway was that while being open to change is crucial, it's equally important to maintain a strong sense of identity. The speakers shared their journeys of breaking systemic barriers and stepping into career pathways they once thought were out of reach. The significance of representation was highlighted; seeing someone who looks like you doing meaningful mahi in the industry greatly influences your decision to join?! 🙋🏽♀️💁🏻♂️ Viability emerged as a critical factor, alongside a focus on co-designing solutions. The panelists stressed the importance of understanding the goals and aspirations of associations and communities. Creating a culture that embraces differences and pairs it with Agile methodologies was identified as a powerful way to collaborate effectively which Spark New Zealand are doing an awesome job of! A strong message from Megan Gibbons was it should be community-driven rather than imposed from the outside. Engaging with Māori community and understanding our needs is fundamental. The event drove home the point that the tech sector should not try to solve this challenge in isolation; it's essential to collaborate with the community. I also loved her kōrero about creating a Digital apprenticeship 💻 ♥️ It was a great event seeing the progress made, however it’s still clear we have a long way to go and the tech sector requires collective effort, community engagement, and a commitment to creating an inclusive environment for all (Māori / Pasifika / Women / Mothers / etc etc) By embracing change, co-designing solutions, and valuing the richness of diverse perspectives, we can forge a path towards a more equitable and vibrant tech landscape for all! 💚

𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁! Our teams are not truly diverse. There is plenty of room for improvement in terms of gender, age, educational background, and more 🫣😏 But we decided to start small. Because starting at all is crucial. We believe each step we take makes a difference. 💪🚶♀️ #StartSmallButStart #ProudTeam #StrongerTogether #InclusiveWorkplaces #DEI #DiversityRecruiting #DiversityDay

Bright Network Breaking Barriers 2023 Key Takeaways: Today I had the opportunity to attend Bright Network’s Breaking Barriers event involving professionals from multiple well-known organisations giving career advice to students and graduates from underrepresented backgrounds. Here are some key points I took away: The Importance of authenticity: • Pursue what you enjoy whilst finding ways to connect the skills gained towards your end goal. Creative hobbies can put you at an advantage even if it’s unrelated to your career.     Belonging and Community: • Join societies, networks, groups within the workplace that celebrate diversity, your background and interests. • Taking part in volunteering groups such as refugee aid groups can help connect everyone (but especially those of us from a similar background) whilst inspiring change and development.  Learning and Development: • Constantly go after learning opportunities and gaining certifications. • Make full use of the valuable learning opportunities and access pathways provided by your employers.   Tackling Impostor Syndrome: • You can’t combat this issue and re-frame your thoughts to a positive/objective process without writing these thoughts down. • Prioritise empowering thought processes and be wary of irrational thought processes like catastrophising and magnifying situations.  Responding to failure and change: • The importance of resilience and having an objective mindset - "Failure is not a reflection of competence" • Being open-minded about opportunities instead of fixating on one plan is one key to achieving success professionally.  Opportunity: • Make use of access programmes, virtual work experience opportunities and non-traditional routes. • An example of access opportunities include Deloitte’s blind recruitment and contextualised recruitment processes. • Virtual experience opportunities include Clifford Chance’s virtual law experiences.   Mentoring: • Join mentorship programmes offered by universities and companies if you lack the supportive ally-ship necessary to progress in your sector.        Assessment Centres: • Most employers will provide resources to even out the playing field so that those of us who’ve had to work for financial reasons have the same opportunities as those who haven’t needed to and applicants don't need to be discouraged.  I would like to thank all the panellists for taking the time out of their busy schedules to provide extremely valuable advice and to thank Bright Network for allowing me the opportunity to attend. It was definitely empowering to interact with so many professionals who have successfully overcome social barriers. #brightnetwork #breakingbarriers2023 #socialmobility
