TechWomen Power Breakfast - November 2018

November 14 TechWomen Power Breakfast Teaches How to Find Success in Business

Janice DiPietro, founder and chief executive officer of Exceptional Leaders International, headlines the New Hampshire Tech Alliance’s (Alliance and formerly the New Hampshire High Tech Council), TechWomen Power Breakfast with a discussion on “Leaning In Without Leaning Over” on Wednesday, November 14 from 7:30 to 9 am at the Portsmouth Country Club, 80 Country Club Lane in Greenland.
 

DiPietro will discuss how ambitious women who rise through the ranks of corporate structures are often mislabeled with negative monikers. Despite having made significant headway, women are not achieving the types of gains anticipated in leadership roles when compared to their educational achievements an job performance. Why is this the case and what can be done to affect the meaningful change needed? For many women who have excelled in business, playing and mastering the traditional “old boys” game has been a necessary aspect of the climb to the top.

Too often, women consume energy struggling to fit into male-driven corporate structures. It may also be difficult to help other women in the workplace for fear of displaying favoritism. Luckily, that paradigm is beginning to change, and women in positions of influence can make a true difference by fostering, supporting and lifting up other women in our fields. During this month’s discussion, we will explore the strategies to help ourselves and other women succeed and why this bodes well for business performance and the generations to follow. We’ll discuss why leaning in without falling over can work and allow us to forge our own paths forward while celebrating the uniqueness of male and female leaders.

The TechWomen Power Breakfast series is part of the Alliance’s TechWomen|TechGirls initiative that builds on a strong community of women enthusiastic about technology and supporting efforts where girls are exploring STEM as a career or area of study. TechWomen|TechGirls holds programs for professional women to connect, collaborate and explore ideas around career development, technology initiatives, and innovation. The initiative also deploys volunteers and mentors to support academic STEM initiatives and events for girls across New Hampshire.

“We are excited to offer a place for women in the technology fields to come together and create lasting meaningful relationships while learning from each other’s successes,” said Candice Benson of Benson Consulting and chair of the TechWomen Power Breakfast committee. “We have a lot of brilliant women in our community and we are thrilled to be able to celebrate and support them with our power breakfast series.”
