Unleash the Power of Endless Learning
summary
Women make up 35% of the tech workforce but hold less than 20% of tech leadership and progress requires measurable actions not platitudes. Examples include Maria Curri's two Nobels and Meg bitman scaling eBay from $4B to $8B and 30 to 15,000 employees; concrete steps offered are a part‑time master's while working, using role‑to‑skill tools like my journey and a "70% Journey" option, seeking targeted mentors, applying new skills on the job, and experimenting with AI/ChatGPT to practice learning.
