Inspirational IT- girl event

On April 23 I attended an event targeting female IT-professionals in Sweden. Through some role-playing and an engaging workshop, led by career-coach Susanne Dahlérus, we were given the opportunity to reflect on our careers.

It was surprising to hear that most of us create mental boundaries which affects our actions in life. It’s therefore important to keep an open mind and have the courage to think and dream in new ways. We need to control our own “truth” and plan our career accordingly.

The aim of the exercises was to make a one year plan, and commit then and there the first step to making it a reality. I too made my own reflections, looking to my personal hopes and goals in my professional journey. Exactly what that goal entails will be covered in this blog in due time. In one year, on April 23 2010 I will look back and hopefully see that I have been proactive and taken every opportunity to growth and development.
