Our favorite quote from Marisa “Ritzy” Estrada Rivera, "So why emerging tech? It's not just about innovation; it's about shaping a future where everyone has a seat at the table, where technology reflects the rich tapestry of human experience, and where diversity isn't just celebrated but embedded in every aspect. It's about building a better world.” Join us on Aug 31st as we explore and advocate for the importance of diversity in Tech! Whether you're looking to grow your career in emerging tech or improve your hiring strategies, we've got you covered. Come join us! https://lnkd.in/g6G2AaPD

Monday, July 1 12pm CT *Free for Members Learn more and register here: https://lu.ma/ot6auqb8 Join Transition and Leadership Coach, Rachel Kourakos, as she unveils the ins and outs of the frameworks and questions you should ask yourself when considering a change in your career. In this eye-opening talk, Rachel will guide you through a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, helping you learn about yourself and what is important to consider to make informed decisions about your career.  When it comes to your career, timing is everything. There are moments when you will want to stick it out to make the most of your current position and there are times when you will have to make the call to change your circumstances. This is not a talk dedicated to helping you figure out what you want (although that will be a great by-product) but rather to know when to make a change by challenging you to ask yourself the questions that will help you create clarity. You will walk away with: *Greater self-awareness and confidence in what you want *Inspiring stories and examples of career transitions (personal to Rachel & her clients) *Tangible tools and frameworks (that you can work with immediately) to help you reflect *New ways of understanding your past experiences *Key questions that you can ask yourself to assess your role now and in the future *Productive mindsets that will support your career development and growth  *Clarity on whether you want to double down where they are or if you want to consider making a change
