The 3rd annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geekysummit.com\/\">Geeky Summit<\/a>, organized by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicgeek.ca\/\">Chic Geek<\/a>, was a celebration of women in the tech community. Chic Geek aims to see more women represented in the intersection between technology and entrepreneurship. They hold a variety of events throughout the year as well as a formal mentorship program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was plenty to learn over the course of the Summit. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyardstick.com\/four-professional-development-tips-from-women-in-tech\/\">Earlier this week<\/a> we looked at some insights about the world of women in tech. In this post we\u2019ll turn the focus towards personal development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relationships aren\u2019t built with one good meeting; they\u2019re a dotted line of many good meetings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>An Investment Experiment<\/em> &#8211; Andrea Drager, Vice President of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azurecap.com\/\">Azure Capital Partners<\/a> &amp; Prageet Nibber, CEO &amp; Co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rewattpower.com\/\">ReWatt Power<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Less than 5% of all investors are female. Women entrepreneurs aren\u2019t raising venture capital at the same rate as their male counterparts. Prageet Nibber, who recently had to ask for some capital, and Andrea Drager, an investor who determines who gets funded, sat down to discuss their experiences. Moderated by Kristina Williams (CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alberta-enterprise.ca\/\">Alberta Enterprise Corporation<\/a>), the two women talked about what it takes to secure funding for your product or company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nibber talked about the struggles of being the only woman in the room. \u201cAt first, before I had developed any strategies to counteract it, people would always direct the technical questions to my co-founder [who is a man]. I realized that instead of letting him answer a question I was more qualified for, I just had to take the reins back\u2014politely, of course!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think the best piece of advice I can give you is that we want to invest in lines, not dots,\u201d says Drager. \u201cWe want to see the trajectory of where you\u2019re going. It\u2019s about building a relationship, one day and month and year at a time. If we can\u2019t see how that plays out in the future, it\u2019s not worth our investment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No one can tell your story better than you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Building a Powerful Body of Work in an Unstable World<\/em> &#8211; Pamela Slim, Founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/pamelaslim.com\/ke\/\">K\u2019\u00e9 Main Street Learning Lab<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A few random notes from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamslim?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@pamslim<\/a>&#39;s great talk at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChicGeekYYC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ChicGeekYYC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GeekySummit?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GeekySummit<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/bodyofwork?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#bodyofwork<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IGDd226mWp\">pic.twitter.com\/IGDd226mWp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; sam hester (@calgaryhester) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/calgaryhester\/status\/1063543879662596096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 16, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pamela Slim\u2014author, community builder, and consultant\u2014started her keynote with this thesis: \u201cNo matter the circumstance, boss, client, or economy, I am continually employable.\u201d With over 20 years\u2019 experience as a business coach, Slim dissected exactly how we can control our narrative. \u201cIt\u2019s a stew,\u201d she says. Your roots, the core emotions that drive you, are the broth to which you add ingredients like skills, strengths, experiences, values, scars, and identity. Whatever it is you create\u2014books, code, videos, events\u2014are the end results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s all well and good if you know what you want to create, but what if you don&#8217;t? Not everyone has a drive or calling for a singular life purpose. These people can be considered \u201cmultipotentialites,\u201d or those who don\u2019t want or need to choose one path or career. Slim herself says she considers herself one. The key thing to remember about multipotentialites is that they still have meaning and purpose in their work; it just might not be apparent what that is until you\u2019re several years down the road and able to look back at your accomplishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether or not you choose one or many paths of creation, the idea remains that <em>all<\/em> of it is valuable. A lot of the data collection methods and processes are built with inherent biases, which only creates more when reports from that data are made. Creating something, <em>anything<\/em>, that is true to yourself, is a way to address this problem. It puts you back in the driver\u2019s seat, in control of your own story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you\u2019re not uncomfortable, you\u2019re not growing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Learning to Lead: My Remote-Work Journey from Software Engineer to Senior Executive<\/em> &#8211; Katie Womersley, Director of Engineering at <a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/\">Buffer<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIf you don\u2019t feel a little uncomfortable, you\u2019re not growing.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/katie_womers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@katie_womers<\/a> tells us when it come to being successful in a remote career.

Some companies, such as Buffer, are embracing it by ditching offices entirely. Katie Womersley is part of that 100% remote team, and she shared how she built her remote career while rising through the leadership ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Womersley admitted that her biggest fear in joining a remote team was the possibility of loneliness. Luckily, there are plenty of tools to keep the team connected, and if the company values culture, you won\u2019t feel isolated from your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before every vertical leap you make, there will always be doubts and fears. You\u2019ll wonder if you\u2019re qualified, or perhaps someone\u2019s going to figure out there\u2019s been a terrible mistake in promoting you. You\u2019ll ask yourself, \u201cCan I actually do this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Womersley is quick to assure the Geeky Summit crowd: Yes. Yes you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Far from being isolated by the distance between her team members, Womersley discovered that she already had relationships in place with most of her colleagues. Before even starting her position at Buffer, she\u2019d spent about six months interacting with them on Twitter. As she puts it, \u201cYour network is your net worth.\u201d Yes, your resum\u00e9 might stand out, but it\u2019s practically a given that, given the choice between two equally qualified candidates, employers seeking remote workers will hire the person they already know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given how connected we are in today\u2019s world, there\u2019s no reason not to reach out to anyone you admire and ask them for a chat. Womersley even provided a script to use. It\u2019s as easy as sending a message over Twitter or LinkedIn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cHey, I\u2019ve been following your work and really admire [specific thing]. Can I chat with you about what it\u2019s like to do [super cool job] at [dream company]?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve made a connection, it\u2019s easy to stay on top of when the company opens new positions. Even if the person you\u2019ve been talking to isn\u2019t part of the hiring team, a recommendation from them holds a lot of clout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taking on too much work for yourself is a form of laziness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Work and Identity, Intentionally<\/em> &#8211; Elena Dumitrascu, Co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terrahub.ca\/\">Terrahub<\/a>, Lisa Stirling, Product Performance Engineer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garmin.com\/en-US\">Garmin<\/a>, and Nazlie Shahmir, Quality Assurance Team Lead at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westjet.com\/en-ca\/index\">WestJet<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last panel of the day was a powerhouse of tech-enabled women at various stages in their careers. Kylie Woods, founder of Chic Geek, moderated the discussion. Topics ranged from introverted leaders to knowing when it\u2019s time to change direction in your career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of my favourite insights came from Elena Dumitrascu, who described a conversation with one of her managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI had been running myself ragged, taking on all sorts of different projects, working 70 hour weeks. I was exhausted. And my manager brings me in to say, \u2018Elena, stop being lazy.\u2019\u201d Naturally, she was shocked and indignant\u2014at least until he explained what he meant by \u201clazy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe said that I\u2019m taking the easy way out by doing everything for myself. If I was really interested in getting things done, I would spend the time to train and teach my employees on how to do some of these tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trust plays a big role in this. If a manager doesn\u2019t trust their employees to perform their jobs, it can dissolve their confidence. By taking on every task that comes their way, the manager is basically saying, \u201cI have to do this because you\u2019re unable to complete this task as well as I could.\u201d It\u2019s in everyone\u2019s best interest to delegate, and the best way to do that is to really know your team and what they each bring to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self-comfort is not the same thing as self-care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Rise Without Compromise: Because Burnout is Never Beautiful<\/em> &#8211; Stephanie Pollock, Business &amp; Leadership Coach at <a href=\"https:\/\/stephaniepollock.com\/\">Stephanie Pollock Media<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BqRB-NNB-b_\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BqRB-NNB-b_\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This talk was definitely a highlight of the Summit. When Stephanie Pollock first encountered burnout, she wasn\u2019t even aware of it. She went to the hospital for some chest pains, thinking it was some sort of heart attack. When doctors informed her that the pain was due to stress, she got a wake up call that she\u2019d been working herself ragged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She\u2019s not alone. 57% of tech workers suffer from burnout, anxiety, and depression. The rise and popularity of entrepreneurial influencers like Elon Musk and Gary Vee, who glamorize \u201cthe Hustle\u201d and how endlessly one should work in order to reach a modicum of success, is one contributing factor. The tech field is hugely competitive, and not knowing how to handle the stress of the job can be detrimental in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burnout looks different for everyone, but here are some common signs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Low energy<\/li><li>High stress<\/li><li>Racing heart<\/li><li>Everything feels insurmountable<\/li><li>Avoiding your life<\/li><li>Feeling numb<\/li><li>Making mindless mistakes<\/li><li>Trouble with relationships<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to combat burnout, it\u2019s important to practice self-care. There are the activities and attitudes that nourish our emotional, physical and mental well-being. It doesn\u2019t matter what the activity is, but it\u2019s important to distinguish between self-comfort and self-care. Self-comfort can be anything that numbs or \u201cturns off\u201d the feelings of burnout, but doesn\u2019t actually do anything to heal or replenish you. This can be staying up all night with a glass of wine and some Netflix (instead of getting a good night\u2019s sleep), giving your credit card a workout on Amazon (instead of saving for a vacation that might actually recharge you), or gossiping about a coworker (instead of removing a toxic person from your life).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pollock offers 5 Rules to differentiate the two. In order to truly be self-care, an activity should meet the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make you feel like yourself<\/li><li>Require some intentionality<\/li><li>Use the margins of your life<\/li><li>Be highly personalized<\/li><li>Encompasses your whole life<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pollock adds that it\u2019s okay for an activity to be boring. \u201cNot having to think too hard about what you\u2019re doing lets you clear your mind of clutter.\u201d Finding these small activities to recharge your batteries shouldn\u2019t be an onerous task unto itself. It should be something that\u2019s easily doable in your free time (\u201cin the margins\u201d) and doesn\u2019t complicate your life any further (like, say, scheduling a friend date might if both of your schedules are hectic). As Lena Horne says, \u201cIt\u2019s not the load that breaks you down, it\u2019s how you carry it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 16th, 2018, hundreds of women (and a few men) gathered into the gorgeous New Central Library in Calgary, Alberta.
