On Wednesday, September 14th SWE-ECI hosted a lunch webinar that included two TED Talk Topics. The first TED Talk was Irene Mora on "For women in pursuit of motherhood and a career". Irene talked about her experience as a child of a working mother in the 90s, when it still was quite novel to move for a mother's career. She said that so many people like to focus on the negatives of having a working mother, but she wanted to highlight the positives such as getting to travel around the world. The second TED talk was Leila Hoteit's "3 Lessons on Success from an Arab Businesswoman." Leila talked about how she manages motherhood and a career in a culture that is very anti-mothers working. There were great discussions among the women at our companies on how we balance motherhood and career or how it has been modeled for us. There were also some really good perspectives from multiple cultures - things got real!
With this lunch webinar we were able to bring back onsite locations at P&G, Collins, Quaker, and Schneider Electric - which was GREAT! Thank you to the 40+ people who joined in person and on Zoom to watch and contribute to the valuable discussions!
