Danielle Moon shares her journey founding Women in Power, a community that grew from noticing just eight women among 80 professionals at a Microsoft event to a thriving global network of 930+ members in less than a year.

TAKEAWAYS
• Starting with vulnerability and a "just start" mentality rather than waiting for perfect conditions
• Building a community focused on connecting women across geographical boundaries who often experience isolation in their tech teams
• Creating mentoring rings, skill-building opportunities, and networking events worldwide
• Addressing the tendency for women to operate as "lone wolves" rather than leveraging collective strength
• Evolving beyond the Power Platform to emphasize soft skills that remain valuable in an AI-centered world
• Encouraging cross-learning between technical experts and those with relationship-building strengths
• Celebrating small victories while aiming for world domination

Whether you're a Power Platform professional seeking community or someone interested in building more inclusive tech spaces, this conversation offers valuable insights on creating tables where everyone can thrive. How might you apply these community-building principles in your professional sphere?
