If you’re ready to bust through the glass ceiling & take your rightful place as a lit-up leader in the tech industry (or help others do the same) - this one’s for you, my love!

Let’s talk about the state of women in tech & cybersecurity, and what we as leaders can be doing about it.

In today’s episode, I invite Executive Director of Women in Cybersecurity (WICYS), Lyyn Dohm, to share her experience as a leading woman in tech and how she successfully navigates leading with inclusion, equity & allyship.

Ready to find out what you can do as a leader to actually move inclusion efforts forward? 

Let’s go to the show!

We dive into:

• Lynn’s career journey & experience in cybersecurity
• KEY findings from the WICYS State of Inclusion Assessment
• Why we should STOP obsessing about policy to address DEI (and what to do instead!)
• Utilizing mentorship if you’re experiencing exclusion in your tech leadership career
• What to do now if you’ve done all the right things, but you’re still not advancing!
• And more
