How to be a kickass woman in a male dominated workplaceDesiree Conceicao
Being a girl in tech can be hard, even when you're not faced with any overt sexism. It can be difficult being confident, speaking up, and making yourself heard - without coming off as arrogant, pushy, or aggressive. This talk isn't about sexism, and it's not about tech - but it is about a bunch of practical things you can do to make sure you're getting visibility, are being listened to, and are kicking ass - without stepping on too many toes.

The creative process in blogging (and life)Jillian Leslie
Practical tips on writing, the creative process, and blogging. Presented by Jillian Leslie of Catch My Party at Bloggy Boot Camp, in Denver on September 17, 2011.
Blogging to Get Found Online for Job Search and Personal Branding Ali Powell
I gave a talk to a group of women this morning who have been out of the workforce for years and are looking to re-enter the workforce. This presentation is meant to help women entering the workforce again build their branding online for job search.
Making friends as an adult can be difficult, but social media makes it easier. Find out how to use communities like Twitter, Tumblr and DailyMile to make lifelong friends and training buddies from three friends who met online!
Even extroverts and closet introverts can benefit from many of these interview secrets. Introverts often feel especially challenged by an interview as any out of the ordinary communication can be worrisome. Given the level of importance attached to an interview, it may really ramp up nervousness and keep them from performing their best. If you are an introvert or want to perform your best during an upcoming interview – apply these interview secrets for a stellar performance.
Losing your job can take a toll on your emotional and physical wellbeing. There is a grieving process that most people go through after a layoff. It is completely normal to experience anger and denial and giddiness - and every other emotion. You will definitely have good days and bad days.
However, this also is a great opportunity to step back and evaluate what you have done in the past, and what you would like to do in the future. It is a time to take inventory of what worked and what didn’t work for you. It is a time to reconnect with your purpose and values. It is a time to consider what the right next step is.

Career transition is uncomfortable, no doubt! However, it can be an incredibly valuable time if you are willing to step back, evaluate, and decide what you would like to change and what you would like to keep doing. Are you ready for a big change? Did you like what you were doing and would like to do more of it? Are you ready for a new work paradigm like a job portfolio? This talk contains practical and actionable tips for thriving (not just surviving) your transition.
IT jobs can be very stressful. It's not the stress that's the problem, it's how we choose to deal with stress that can be the problem. Learn techniques for dealing with the stress of an IT job including short-term and long-term solutions.
Let’s face it: Jobs in IT, whether network administrator, CIO, or end-user desktop support, can be some of the most stressful positions in the workplace. In this presentation, you’ll learn practical, down-to-earth techniques for dealing positively with the inevitable stress of a job in IT.
Everybody lies sometimes. This is true. Research has shown that 60 per cent of people lie at least once in a 10-minute conversation with a stranger. But many lies are benign, constructed to preserve someone’s feelings, save face or avoid damaging a relationship. These lies are usually harmless, expected and appreciated.
Dishonesty in the workplace, however, can be dangerous. From the lies told in employment interviews to tales spun in the boardroom, workplace dishonesty can affect a company’s security, morale and bottom line. HR professionals and investigators should be skilled and trained to detect lies.
Join Timothy Dimoff, security expert and president of SACS Consulting, as he discusses workplace dishonesty and what to do about it.
SEVEN STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVING TRUE SUCCESS
1. The Paradox Principle of Sacrifice – The short term easy leads to the long term difficult while the short term difficult leads to the long term easy. Leverage long-term vision to endure short-term sacrifices.
2. The Buy-In Principle of Commitment – The more we have invested into something the less likely we are to let it fail. Increase your commitment by creating the question “how is this possible?” rather than relenting to the question “is it possible?”
3. The Magnification Principle of Focus – Focus is power. Spend time developing clarity about what you want most in life because the amount of our endurance is directly proportionate to the clarity of our vision.
4. The Creation Principle of Integrity – You think it, you speak it, you act, it happens.
Become relentless at creating congruence between your words and your actions.
5. The Harvest Principle of Schedule – Focused effort is amplified by appropriate timing and regimented routine. Let go of the myth of balance and start living your life by the law of seasons.
6. The Perspective Principle of Faith – Our ability to have peace is directly proportionate to the term of our perspective. Manage tragedy and setbacks by realizing that without the ability to see the entire future, we aren’t entitled to evaluate why things happen today.
7. The Pendulum Principle of Action – It doesn’t matter what we say we believe our real beliefs are revealed by how we act. Cultivate the habit of action by being relentless about making progress while at the same time completely freeing yourself of the demand for perfection
Finally, make permanent change by embracing:
The Rent Axiom - Success is never owned, it is only rented; and the rent is due every day. Know confidently that today is the hardest it will ever be and that one-day your appetites will change. One day you will crave the thing that was originally a sacrifice and what was once an indulgence you gave up later won’t even be a temptation.

3. Wear comfortable, suitable clothes
• This sounds like common sense, but you may have
experienced (or at least know someone who has) a
time when you had a brand new outfit you were
excited to wear.
• It fit great in the dressing room, but somehow when
you wore it to the big event two weeks later it didn’t
fit right here or there.
• Perhaps you fussed, fidgeted, tugged and pulled or
adjusted in the restroom numerous times.
• In the end it wasn’t the outfit of your dreams after all.
4. Do your homework
• At an interview you will be nervous enough – you
don’t need to be focused on your clothes.
• Start by researching the setting.
• Go there in person if you can.
• If it is a public setting walk through and note what
most employees are wearing.
• If need be, hang out in the parking lot - it won’t take
long to get a feel for the typical attire.
5. Think Ahead
• Think about the setting and your personal style and
kick up your attire one more notch.
• More often than not, men will ask do I really need to
wear a suit. Most often, the answer is yes.
• Even if it is a pair of Dockers, button down, and a
sport coat (mainly for tradesmen and hands-on
positions), you want to look sharp.
• If you are stuck on deciding what to wear, think about
what you would wear to church, a funeral or a
wedding and dress in that direction.
6. Change things up
• Make sure that your clothing fits you well and is
comfortable to wear sitting, standing and walking.
Ladies, this includes hose or stockings (having a
backup pair that has been tested is also advisable).
• The last thing you want is to feel glued to your chair
or find it awkward to rise, walk on a tour or stand
while greeting to leaving.
• I would recommend wearing your selected outfit for
at least a half hour in various positions.
7. Check it out
• Consider testing two outfits to accommodate your
mood or the weather. It should also look good front
and back.
• Ask someone else’s opinion – it may feel awkward to
give a mini fashion show, but this is important.
• You will already be nervous enough – no need to add
to it by allowing your mind to stray toward your
outfit!
