There isn't a one-size-fits-all career. We can have a huge influence in how our careers go, however, sometimes it can feel hard to know where to start. Especially when it comes to tech, there can often be questions that people have without a clear place to get answers. This Thursday, I'll be talking all about careers in tech as part of Tech Thursday's initiative to bring more ideas and connection to individuals aspiring to be in and already in the tech space. If you're in Winnipeg, join us at the MTA event space on the bridge between The Forks and St. Boniface for an awesome evening. Looking forward to speaking alongside Scott Russell, Zachary Novak and Ravneet Kaur. #careers #tech #techthursday

A tremendous discussion last night on 'Raising a Family while Starting a Company'. 🐣 We had 3 incredible founders who started a company while navigating parenthood. Addy Graves, Kelsey Hahn, Taylor Armfield (moderator), and Christa Hill spoke about the importance of quality time vs. quantity time, catching your kids right before bed to get tea, and the importance of time management. A huge thank you to our sponsors Neo Financial, SkipTheDishes, Google Cloud, Calgary Economic Development, Confluent, Manitoba Technology Accelerator, Float for making the event possible. See you next week, same time, same place.
