It was inspiring and exciting to join an amazing group of women IT leaders at the Government IT Leadership Symposium at JW Marriott at Mall of America. Topic: Women in IT Forbes, June 18, 2024 “Despite progress, the gender gap in the tech industry persists. Recent statistics show that women comprise only about 25% of the tech workforce. This disparity is even more pronounced in leadership positions, where women hold only 11% of executive roles. These numbers highlight the uphill battle women continue to face in an industry dominated by men. Gender biases, lack of mentorship and limited access to professional development opportunities are just a few of the main challenges.” The more layers there are to a woman, the more challenging the path is to executive leadership positions. I discussed my experiences in both public and private sectors as a woman, a person of color, an immigrant and a Muslim and shared lessons learned and coping strategies with the audience. Key message: Be authentic, be yourself and be true to your core values! It was wonderful to see 3 men in the audience who attended to support the advancement of women in IT Zafar Siddiqui #govit #womeninit

Find your people. Find your secret sauce. Your first pivot into the corporate world is often the hardest, but it's never too late to get started. p.s. Where are you in your career journey?

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Level 2: Cribl Certified Admin - Stream! This section of the course was my favorite in all honesty. Utilizing Cribl stream is better because I can take the time to remove, parse and transform data. And let’s be real: dropping irrelevant data? Chef’s kiss; easily the most satisfying part of the process. It’s a game-changer for stakeholder discussions too, simplifying the task of verifying and aligning on exactly what data is needed.

Want to share my experience about an amazing aid I found just in time that made my #PgMP study COMPLETE and my certification journey successful. EXCELLING PROGRAM MANAGEMENT BY Kailash Upadhyay - PMI(PfMP, PgMP, PMP, ACP, RMP) Microsoft(MCP, MCT), IIBA(CBAP) I have been looking for some additional study material to bridge my knowledge gaps after reading #PMI SPM v5 and after reading this book I felt this is exactly what was missing in my journey. When you read this book, you don't feel like reading any study material but it is like going through a story episode by episode. It is evident that Kailash has taken a great effort in compiling this book and its contents by deeply incorporating his knowledge and a lifelong field experience. A “real life case studies rich” major Program deliverable included in this book really help to create a permanent mind map which is crucial for success in the PgMP exam. Every concept is explained with a real-life example which makes it easy to grasp and relatable. You can open any page, start reading and you can relate it with your day today job profile. If you are a PgMP aspirant or a program management working professional, this is a must buy collectible. I am confident that it will definitely help and keep guiding you as it to me. I am sure that I will keep reading this book as long as I am working as a Program manager to keep sharpen my knowledge in this domain. Thanks Kailash and Addon Skills® for this amazing book and looking forward to many more like this. #excellingprogrammanagement You can grab a copy here: https://amzn.in/d/guRtLwI
