Wichita Women In Tech’s Post

My #internationalwomensday journey with Women Techmakers organized by #Google I became super interested in #IWD celebration in 2023, ✶ joined as a volunteer. ✶ soon became one of the organizers for the event in my community. ✶ battled with self-doubt during the event. ✶ engaged in aimless networking #IWD2024 celebration was different, I had experienced growth, invested in my self as a #womanleader and embracing my magic yet crushing my goals. So in 2024, I ✶ was one of the organizers, yet volunteering as a content strategist and social media manager (X account). ✶ was more self confident, and engaged in conversations. ✶ brought in a novel idea in the event, we invited secondary school students to be in the room with us. I just want to say, it is okay to: 😊 go for events and not feel like you belong, but you surely will find your space soon. 😊 volunteer your skills and introduce ideas, you've got it in you. #IWD events have always been beautiful, and I love the fact that women are willing to thrive and be part of a community supporting one another. P.S: Do you take pictures during events? or are you like me? 😂 #womenleadership #iwdcelebration #womentechmakers #websitedesigners

I know that it can be challenging to meet in person but the value and inspiration that meet ups within our ecosystem and especially in the WIT community can bring is priceless (just like those credit card commercials.. 😆). If virtual is more your style, check out this virtual meetup with Anna Shaffer!

#Update: The issue has been solved thanks to several Linkedin Gurus on here. THANK YOU! #HELP Linkedin Gurus, I need your help. I lost access to my Women BTS in Events (tech prod) community page under Tree-Fan Events and because it's a showcase page and not a 'company', I can't claim it back. I have opened case after case with LinkedIn support and got NO HELP. I need YOUR help. If you know how to fix this, please DM me. Or if you know someone in support that I can direct my problem, please DM me. This community is need me!

Things to get involved with could include; supporting internal and external women's networks, speaking to girls about navigating pathways, volunteering time to mentor girls and women, speaking on panels to share wisdom and strategies for success. 🌟 don't be afraid to self nominate - only you know yourself best, so get comfortable with talking about the great things you do and are 🌟 writing a great nomination takes time - start the process now, so you are fully prepared when nomination lines open And don't forget 🌟 testimonials add great value, add this to the additional information - get your supporters to write a few lines about why you are so awesome and the impact you created 🙌 If you have anymore #toptips to share, add them to the comments below 🔽 🙏 #womenintechnology #awards #techawards #nominations #advice

On Tuesday, I attended a workshop with Orli Degani and Local Enterprise DLR, Enterprising Women Network, organised by Jill Lush - and we talked all about LinkedIn, and learned loads. Today, I spent most of my day updating my profile , I hadn't realised how many featured have changed since I first set up my profile. I would love to hear feedback. Did LinkedIn inform you about the changes I made? Do you look at people's LinkedIn profile before you do business with them? Do you write posts on LinkedIn? Do you have any tips on how I can improve or what I can add to my profile?

Module 2 - Building a Strong LinkedIn Profile I had the pleasure of attending Module 2 on "Building a Strong LinkedIn Profile," led by the insightful @Noor Ul Huda .
