After leaving Cisco, she is now considering her next move and has many opportunities available. Warrior discusses her career path from IIT Delhi to Silicon Valley, the importance of supporting other women in male-dominated fields, and her views on achieving better integration between work and life responsibilities rather than an unrealistic balance.

Making connections - Women in STEM - a wicked problemMary Loftus
The document discusses the lack of women in STEM fields as a "wicked problem" with no single solution. It notes that the problem is interconnected with many other issues like childcare, culture, and confidence. While there is no definitive answer, the document advocates connecting with others to identify approaches and build models to help integrate tensions and reduce trade-offs. It provides examples of initiatives aimed at advancing women's participation in areas like academia, business, film, and technology. The document emphasizes the importance of connections between women in overcoming unconscious biases and advancing equality.
This document discusses economic resources and how they are allocated. It uses examples from daycare centers and families to illustrate concepts like supply, demand, control and allocation of resources. Leaders emerge based on how resources are distributed, not by who is put in charge. The stay-at-home child learns to negotiate resources when demands change. Novels are cited as teaching effective resource management lessons. The challenges faced in the Eurozone relate to a lack of applying economic principles and a misplaced focus on validation over substantive solutions.
The document discusses the importance of leaders using narratives and stories. It suggests that narratives are how people best understand and share information. Effective leaders act as narrative champions by sharing stories about their work and experiences. The document provides examples of educational leaders who publicly share their stories and learning experiences to build relationships and engage others.

Emily was an enterprising young woman who was a competent team leader in a male-dominated advertising firm. According to a Harvard Business Review report, women scored higher than men in 12 out of 16 measures of outstanding leadership. However, women remain underrepresented in leadership positions, especially in Asia. In Singapore, only 15% of chief executive positions and 8% of boardroom positions are held by women. Asian women still face traditional expectations to be dutiful wives and mothers, which limits their career advancement. True success for Asian women will only come when social norms no longer judge their achievements based on novelty rather than ability.
Increasing Gender Diversity in Tech - International Women's Day 2016Angie Chang
On this International Women's Day, Angie will talk about gender parity in technology, entrepreneurship and business -- and how to reach for it. From companies (recruiting, retaining and advancing women), to individuals perspective (as mentee, mentor, parent, colleague, friend), she will provide research-based tips and tricks for bringing women into the fold. First, she will go over why things are the way they are now -- and how to move toward the future of gender equality.
About the speaker: Angie Chang is the VP of Strategic Partnerships & Mentorship at Hackbright Academy, where she focuses on Strategic Partnerships. Hackbright Academy runs a 12-week accelerated engineering fellowship exclusively for women quarterly in San Francisco. In 2008, she started Bay Area Girl Geek Dinners to network women in technology. Dinners are sponsored by companies including Google, Facebook, Yahoo! and Palantir. Prior to that, she co-founded Women 2.0, a media company which promotes women in high-growth, high-tech entrepreneurship. She was named in Fast Company's 2010 "Most Influential Women in Technology" and more recently Business Insider named her one of "30 Most Important Women Under 30 In Tech". She has been invited by the U.S. State Department to speak on women's high-tech, high-growth entrepreneurship in the West Bank, Switzerland and Germany. Angie has held positions in product management and web/UI production at various Silicon Valley startups. She holds a B.A. in English and Social Welfare from UC Berkeley.
Presented by serial tech entrepreneur Bernadette Hyland to an audience of tech and design managers on building an inclusive, collaborative workplace. Bernadette Hyland began her career in Silicon Valley when 37% of computer science graduates were women. During the next two decades, the number of female engineers dropped to a low of 12% despite more women in the workplace. What happened? This talk highlights several remarkable female programming pioneers from the U.S. and Australia. This talk aims to engage the audience in a discussion on the value of diverse collaborations, the role of women and how we may be self-reflective to improve participation and collaboration in the workplace, and reduce discrimination and harassment.

The essay describes a trip through the Blue Ridge Mountains and Smoky Mountains, marveling at the beautiful views of the misty peaks and rapids throughout the Nantahala National Forest. While navigating the tight turns and crowds along the roads, the author encounters the southern hospitality but also unexpected stops like a van pulling over on a blind curve for a bathroom break, bringing traffic to a halt. The trip highlights both the awe-inspiring natural scenery and amusing incidents of traveling through these southern mountain regions by RV.
The document discusses the concept of "digital net worth" and how much of our lives and identities are now defined online. It hypothesizes about what would happen if the digital world was all that remained after a global "reset", questioning how relevant different people would be and what careers and social circles they might have based on their online presence and digital footprint alone. It stresses that in today's world, ignoring technological developments that could enhance relevance and competitiveness globally may leave some countries and individuals without importance in the future.

This document summarizes an ethnographic analysis of Silicon Valley. The subject is a female computer engineer who works in the technology industry in Silicon Valley. As a woman working in a male-dominated field, her presence helps reconstruct the space to be more gender balanced and diverse. However, Silicon Valley is still challenging for women due to entrenched biases, lack of funding for women-led startups, and most investors and leaders only paying attention to men. The document examines how this impacts women and discourages them from pursuing careers in technology fields.
What it takes to be a digital woman: Review by TrendsSpottingTaly Weiss
This presentation was presented at Microsoft's Women Think Next conference. I reviewed the current state of women in the business world, and focused on digital women. I used research done by Harvard Business Review to show the age breakdown where women leave technology professions and simply break out from the industry.
My presentation ends with practical tips: how women working in IT companies can use the Social Media to professionally lead and influence.
I have described that as a "work around" option. Companies success in Social Media relies on the professional team members sharing their insights and works. I believe that women can find that stage as a source for learning, improving and leading. .

This document discusses the importance of effective communication, influence, and online presence in today's changing business environment. It emphasizes that businesses must adapt to changing client expectations, new generations of clients, and the growing importance of online networks and data. Throughout, it provides quotes on the value of communication skills, influence over others, and adapting to change. It challenges readers to consider how they can raise their influence within their teams, communities, and online profiles.
This document discusses the state of women in tech startups. It notes that while women earn more degrees than men, they remain underrepresented in tech, comprising only 25% of the industry and 5% of startup founders. Female-founded startups also receive significantly less venture capital funding than male-founded ones. The document examines industries women tend to focus on, such as technology, business and media, rather than stereotypical "pink ghetto" industries like fashion. It concludes that long-standing societal factors have discouraged women from STEM careers and the male-dominated culture of tech can make women uncomfortable, which are key reasons for the lack of women in tech.

Good Ways To Start Off An Essay IntroductionBrenda Cooper
The document discusses the theme of duality in John Steinbeck's novel Cannery Row. It notes that Steinbeck wrote in the prologue that the inhabitants of Cannery Row could be seen as either "whores, pimps, gamblers, and sons of bitches" or "Saints and angels and martyrs and holy men." This duality shows how one's perspective can influence how the same people or events are viewed. The essay goes on to give examples of how characters in the novel exhibit both admirable and disputable behaviors at different times, demonstrating the duality within the characters and town itself.

James T. Russell invented the compact disc while working as a physicist at General Electric and Pacific Northwest Laboratory, where he developed the first digital to optical recording and playback system in 1970. Russell realized that binary data could be encoded as dark and light spots on a disc to allow information to be read without wearing out, and developed the technology to encode data compactly onto a small plastic disc. This established the foundation for the ubiquitous CD format that stores digital audio and data on a small disc readable by lasers.

WWatch Padmasree Warrior expertly untangle a
coil of emerald-green sandal straps, right after
our photo shoot in Manhattan’s Bryant Park,
and ‘tech nerd’ isn’t exactly the thought that
springs to mind. But the 54-year-old visionary,
who recently sent shockwaves through Silicon
Valley for announcing her departure from net-
working giant Cisco is, self-admittedly, “geek-
ing out” while offering a forecast for the web’s
second act. “There will be 50 billion things con-
nected to the internet by 2020,” she says. “But
what will the human implications of that be?”
If there’s anyone who should be in charge of
wrestling with that colossal quandary, it’s War-
rior, who, like her surname suggests, exhibits a
steely resolve. The Vijayawada-born leader
holds degrees in chemical engineering from
IIT-Delhi and Cornell University; she ran a
semi-conductor factory for Motorola before
claiming a succession of senior leadership posi-
tions during her 23-year stretch, making her
the highest-ranking female executive in the
company’s 80-year history. It’s no surprise that
when Cisco wanted to revamp itself from stodgy
to savvy in 2008, they sought out the exceed-
ingly versatile technologist.
As Cisco’s chief technology and strategy of-
ficer, Warrior, who oversaw more than 20,000
employees, was also responsible for steering the
company’s global engineering operations, deliv-
ering a genre-defying leadership style that en-
couraged creativity and authenticity. It’s an
approach that earned her international hon-
ours, including the Aspen Institute’s very first
Leadership in Science and Technology award
and a spot on Forbes’s “World’s 100 Most Pow-
erful Women” list—for three consecutive years.
None are easy accomplishments in an indus-
try that’s come under fire for systemic sexism,
most recently in the form of a Newsweek cover
story that skewered the tech community for its
widespread “brogrammer” mentality. A series
of internal demographic reports released by
major players last year, including Cisco, only
confirm that Silicon Valley is still largely a ma-
cho boys’ club: females, who make up only 23
per cent of Cisco’s employee base stateside,
only fill 15 per cent of its technical roles and 19
per cent of its managerial positions. “The intro-
spection, the transparency, and being self-
aware about the numbers are all great first
steps,” admits Warrior. “But I would call it just
that…first steps.”
When prodded about her next move, Warrior
keeps respectfully mum—even in August. “The
options coming my way have exceeded my own
expectations. It’s like the paradox of choice,”
she admits. “Frankly, it lets me focus on what I
really want to do for the next decade.”
A pioneering
spirit
A permanent feature in power lists forged
around the world, PADMASREE WARRIOR
is one of the most recognisable Indians in the

ance myth, and her unconventional spin on the
C-Suite. Edited excerpts:
How did IIT prep you for Silicon Valley?
In 1977, it was a big deal to leave South India
and go to Delhi. I didn’t speak any Hindi. Com-
ing to the United States, in some ways, was
easier than going to Delhi even though I ar-
rived with a one-way ticket and just US$100 in
my pocket. I remember calling my dad [from
IIT], being ready to give up, but he told me I
couldn’t because I had already chosen my path.
Eventually, it taught me the pleasure of being
independent. There were only five women in
my batch of 250 and we really stuck together.
That was the first time I realised how impor-
tant it is to support other people when you’re a
minority. And to this day I feel like that’s what
motivates me to give back to other women in
my field.
Do you ever tire of being a symbol for
women in technology?
I don’t think of being a female tech leader as a
burden. I’m a woman and I’m in tech; you can’t
change that. Hopefully, we’ll get to a day where
there’ll be no need to highlight that because 50
per cent of every tech company would be wom-
en and 50 per cent of every board would be
women. Until we see that reality, it’s important
to keep talking about it. Some women say, “I’m
just another engineer.” Yes, I’m another engi-
neer, but a woman engineer, and I want other
women who are thinking about careers in engi-
neering to know you can have an amazing ca-
reer without giving up who you are as a true
person. And I will continue to talk about that
until we get to where the numbers are equal.
Over the years, you’ve tackled seemingly
clichéd ideas and adapted them to better
reflect the realities of working women.
What’s your take on the especially
overused ‘work-life balance’?
I prefer to think of it as integration rather than
balance. First and foremost, accept not being
perfect at everything. You’re going to prioritise
whatever needs to be done because we all do.
That’s logically how humans work. One day
you’re going to prioritise home because your
kid is sick and miss some important meeting at
work. On another, you may decide to go for a
meeting and skip a parent-teacher conference.
If you miss one meeting, it’s not the end of
your—or your kid’s—life. Give yourself permis-
sion to tell yourself you’re making the right de-
cisions to the best of your abilities.
Sometimes, as women, we turn away from
opportunities and put obstacles in our paths.
As women, we do really well in managerial po-
sitions but hold ourselves back when we get to
the executive suite. Suddenly, you’re a role
model for other women. Sometimes taking a
promotion allows you more flexibility! You
can set your own meetings, for starters. Being
in a position of power actually gives you the
opportunity to practise integration better.
In her bestseller Lean In, Sheryl Sand-
berg, COO of Facebook, wrote: “When it
is time to settle down, find someone who
wants an equal partner. Someone
