Why you should spend time with other women in high quality meetingplaces

As a technology-feminist and with an extensive experience in board-work, even I sometimes tend to underestimate the need of meeting someone like me.  I talk about it, I know about it, but I do to unfrequent take the time to recharge my batteries and go on.
In my mail I do get a number of invitations with a hugh variation in content, and I have found lately that what now more and more appeals to me are events where we are merging the women with the story with the updated research on the numerous topics. It might have something to do with experiencing how important bringing facts back to my everyday is, or that these events tend to peel off the particepants just listening in on others stories, but not trying to live their own.
Because in the end, this is what matters. If you only observe but continue not to share, not to try to change, not to challenge and not reach out, you might end up with a good career for yourself, but not contributing to making a change.  I do believe life is so short, and I really want the business life to get more balanced and more diverse. I do believe that everyone of us out their can make a change if we try.  I do believe everyone of us have this comitment to the early feminist fighting the laws and regulation to continue to strive for a better and more diversified worklife where women and men are treated equal.  (sorry to say but the numbers are sad facts showing we are not their yet).

So if you want to contribute, my tip of today is to join meetingplaces with high quality and research discussing and contributing to this topic.  On the 21st of october, such an event is taking place in Oxford. I can not be there myself, but if you can take the time and ask for the cost-coverage from your employee. It is a good deal for both of you.  Here is the link:
