Event description

Our “From Burnout to Balance” breakfast event is going to be an enlightening morning where we delve into two vital aspects of well-being.

As women, we wear many hats - we are professionals, mothers, partners, and more. It is this dance of roles that showcases our adaptability, but also puts us at a greater risk of burnout. In addition, the boundaries between work and personal life are becoming increasingly blurred. Our incredible speakers will guide you on a journey towards achieving equilibrium in the fast-paced world of technology, looking at actionable strategies to harmonise professional ambitions with self-care.

Brigette McGregor-Macdonald will speak to discovering the power of mindfulness and provide key techniques that empower you to stay centred, enhance focus, and build resilience against burnout. Maja Lee will dive into the critical connection between nutrition, health and stress management, providing insights into putting your health first for peak performance, optimising energy levels and warding off burnout.It is time to invest in your well-being, embrace balance, and unlock your full potential in both your professional and personal life.

Join us as we change the narrative from ‘Burnout’ to ‘Balance’.

Computer science, computer engineering, IT, and tech-related fields all battle a similar problem: gender imbalance. We believe this is mainly due to a misconception about these fields, and a pre-conception of who should study and work in this area. As there is already a low female-to-male ratio, people think this is the norm, and because of this, the situation remains this way. She# has several missions. We aim to link together women who are already in this field (in both academia and industry) and establish a platform to network with each other. It’s hard enough being a minority, but harder still if we can’t network with others in similar situations! Secondly, it is our goal to influence the next generation for good; we wish to promote computer science and related fields to high school students who haven’t yet decided which career path to follow. If we can show young girls how exciting, interesting, and relevant computer science is to their lives, not to mention the massive potential job opportunities there are for them; we can provide a positive influence and help young women make informed career decisions. We hope those women can surpass and change what is believed to be normal and take opportunities to work as equals alongside their male peers. Lastly, by opening events to men we aim to educate them in why encouraging women of all ages and skills are important. We invite them to work side-by-side with us to advocate gender balance in the workplace. We can change things if we work together.
