Women in Tech Marketers: How to Advance Your Career in Today's Digital World

Security leaders are increasingly basing their decisions on metrics to justify spending, quantifying risk, and demonstrating value to the executive suite. This panel of leaders will discuss how they are awash in dashboards, charts, and KPIs of little to no value and what they’ve done to develop contextual, impactful, actionable metrics.

Self-Talk it’s the gift that either creates or denies your power. It’s either helpful or hindering. Which do you gift yourself most often?

We usually think about and maintain our physical health and wellbeing but so often our mind health and how we speak to ourselves falls to the bottom of the priority list.

“The ancestor to every action is a thought”

Planning, preparing for and feeling good about yourself and your own success involves a number of key elements -

Some of which are:
- Self-Talk
- Skills Audit
- Identifying strengths and areas for development
- Overcoming any ‘Imposterism’ you’re experiencing
- Identifying you Motivation
- Crafting Goals

Nurturing your mindset to support what you want to achieve in life also involves doing what you can to prepare for setbacks, sometimes referred to as resilience or coping strategies.

In this Webinar we will explore what you can do to use your self-talk and inner voice to support a mindset to achieve and celebrate your success alongside identifying and accessing tools and techniques to help you through the times when things don't all seem to be going your way.

We will cover:
- Identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns
- Guiding your inner critic to be your voice of objective reason
- Overcoming ‘Imposter Syndrome’
- Turning kindness and appreciation inwards
- How to tap into your motivation and enjoy your success more

When you feel aimless or dissatisfied in your career, it’s often because you have no idea what you’re looking for. Without a clear idea of what you want to do, you get antsy about leaving your job, focused on external measures of success and distracted by shiny jobs.

How are you supposed to stop doing what you think is “right” in your career and start doing what’s right for you? If you’re not clear about what you want, there’s no way you can convey it to anyone else.

Come learn how to stop falling into jobs based on circumstances and start making decisions intentionally that are right for you.

Let’s talk Goal Setting, Planning & Values!

On average we spend more time planning our annual holiday than we do our ‘Life Goals’. Having a dream to aspire to is fantastic but without a plan and action steps, dreams rarely turn into ‘goal achieved’.

Most of us know what SMART goals are, but how much time do you spend crafting your goals and nurturing them in a way that allows you to stay focused on attaining them?

What about your values, how often do you pay close attention to your values, what’s important to you and your motivation for achieving your goals?

I imagine values are considered even less than goals.

The combination of setting your goal and achieving it in line with your values is one of the most powerful experiences an individual can have.

Join Rosemarie Wilson for this Webinar where she will explore the power of goal setting and guide you to be able to identify your core values, so you can combine the two and experience the impact it will have for you.

We will cover:
- What is a SMART Goal?
- What exactly are values?
- What is a value based goal?
- How to identify your why and motivational factors
- How to align your success with your values
- The Importance of an Accountability Partner

Success means different things to each of us and when we achieve the things we want in life garnered with values and authenticity we are likely to feel and be more fulfilled.

About the Speaker:
Sarah Archer is a career and leadership coach who works with women to develop a positive mindset, be confident and stop playing small. She is committed to enabling women to show up as their best selves and achieve the career success that is right for them.

In our fast-paced, overstimulated world, it’s difficult to be purposeful and intentional about how we manage our careers. When we are not intentional, however, we rely on others to guide our careers, which may not align with our own values and goals. We may also have unrealistic expectations of the support others will provide. While supportive managers and mentors are valuable resources to maximize our success, we must empower ourselves to drive our own careers.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:
* Clarify your strengths, values, and career direction
* Leverage your strengths and expertise to lead from where you are
* Build influential relationships that can help you achieve your goals
* Advocate for yourself in preparation for new opportunities

The dawning of a new decade is the perfect time to reflect on where you've been and decide where you want to go next. In this workshop you'll discover the keys to understanding what worked and what didn't in 2019 and the past decade as a whole.

You'll also discover how to use those learnings to create a vision for 2020 and the decade ahead, as well as how to bring that vision to life. You'll leave armed with the knowledge and tools you need to design and live a life you love in 2020 and beyond.

When was the last time you were shown appreciation, recognition or gratitude in your place of work? How does it make you feel, when you’re acknowledged in this way? When did you last do the same, show appreciation, recognition or gratitude in your workplace?

Gratitude is one of the most important ingredients that makes teamwork and camaraderie possible. Often businesses don't realise how much people care deeply about doing well, so why not recognise and reward your employees as a way to nurture and retain talent and by doing so encouraging employees throughout your organisation to do the same for each other.

Let’s come together to discuss how to take the first step in creating a culture in which sharing appreciation and gratitude in the moment is as natural as showing up for meetings or checking emails.

This webinar will explore the benefits of gratitude and appreciation for one another and how to stop shying away from it.

We will cover:
- Why should we be appreciative?
- Recognition and reward, it’s not all about the money
- Values and feeling valued
- Benefits of a culture of appreciation
- What practical steps can you take, be it employer or employee

The career change process can be demoralizing, especially when you’re struggling with big questions like “How do I find work in line with my strengths?”, “What job role should I pursue?” and “Where do I start?”

Add to this, if you’re struggling with burnout and feeling discouraged, making a transition can take twice as long.

In this class, you’ll learn:
- How to get unstuck and take massive action toward your career change today
- How to break the cycle of highs and lows so you can have more energy in the process
- How to do work you love that makes a difference without burning out (making time for your life outside of work)

This class is for you if you’re in a career transition, stuck in energy-draining jobs and/or struggling with burnout. Your work won’t stop here. At the end of the class, you’ll receive a workbook that will help you put these learnings into practice.

In this webinar, we will talk about how to get started as a Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) Student Chapter and share ideas on activities, funding, sustainability, competitions, and resources.

Do you know your cyberjutsu tribe? There a many ways your tribe can help you take stock and advance your career. Join us for this webinar where a panel of cybersecurity professionals will discuss tools available for exploring opportunities for job advancement, from education and training and certifications to networking and mentorships. Moderated by Mansi Thakar from the Women's Society of Cyberjutsu (WSC), the group will provide tips for identifying and engaging with your cyberjutsu tribe.

Too often, when I tried to learn cybersecurity in a classroom lab, I found that it existed in a sphere of ideal conditions: we were given the perfect command on the perfect target to get the perfect results on that target. As it turns out, the real world has less than ideal conditions, so I wasn’t sure how my education was going to translate to the real world. That’s when I discovered cyber competitions. In the CTF’s I began to play, I found that there were no wrong ways to get a right answer and I was finally able to hit the ground running in a way that felt like I was preparing for the workforce. Just over a year into my career, I can say that Cyber CTF’s prepared me better than any classroom experience could. Join me on Wednesday, October 2nd to find out how this newbie took her skills from #N00bSec to #Cyber-Champion using CTF’s!

On August 8 in Las Vegas, the world of cybersecurity competitions met the world of eSports and everything changed. The inaugural Wicked6 Cyber Games, a fundraiser hosted by the Women’s Society of Cyberjutsu, brought some of the top collegiate cyber teams to compete onstage in the HyperX Esports Arena. Join us for this recap of the event where we will share audience and participant reactions and key lessons, how the gamification of cybersecurity can increase diversity in the workforce, and how the abilities that competitors exhibit in cyber games can be quantified and mapped to critical skills that corporations seek when filling IT security roles.
