TechWomen : Identity fluctuation in the technology workplace

Identity plays a big part in who we are in the workplace. Our age, our ethnicity, our life experience and life events. Our Identity is something we create and it changes throughout our lives as our situation and experiences evolve. 

We may start our career identifying ourselves as a youngster, green to experience but willing to learn, and then identify ourselves later as a career starter in meetings with many seemingly older, wiser, experienced people. 

What grit & grace does it take to keep hold of your identity? 

Or a successful young career person able to dedicate hours and hours to work and training, and looking fit & fabulous as work is sandwiched in by the gym!

And then you start a family and your entire identity changes. You are now a working, sleep deprived, time poor parent. Suddenly, your identity at work changes with your life priorities. How do you adapt to your new identity? 

You could be at the very height of your career and then you decide this is it! Time to seize the day and Start Up your own business - or consultancy firm! And how that totally shakes your identity - how do you stay strong and resolute? 

Our webinar will host a panel of speakers talking about their experiences of Identity fluctuation and changes in the IT corporate environment.
