Eve's Powerpoint summary of the women's conference.

  To say that we are PowerPoint Monkeys (PPM) here at Microsoft Worldwide Enterprise Services & Support would be an understatement. To one of my pleas to the recruiting committee on news and articles they want to share with the rest of the world - This was Eve's entry summarizing the Women's conference held at Redmond. Yea - shez a PPM too!

Ø 5,000 participants (mostly women J yes! There were some few brave men)

Ø 3 days: Jan.10-12

Ø Focus on Inspiration, Professional Development, The Whole You and Leadership

Ø Lots of cool speakers: external (Denise Harrington, Patricia Fripp) and internal (Mich Matthews, Lori Brownell, Kathleen Hogan and Jeff Rakes)

Ø Some key takeaways:

o Use your natural strengths to your benefit (relationship building, collaboration, ability to communicate)

o Be competitive but don’t compete with other women – instead depend on a network of women

o Stop being “behind the curtain” – Be present and take a bold role

o Dress for success

o The road to success in leadership is not always a ladder (male paradigm) but a spiral (centered, builds momentum)

o Characteristics of powerful females

§ Teacher / Coach

§ Mentor

§ Collaborative / Team Player

§ Intuitive / Vulnerable

§ Passionate

    To lexp:
    Well, it depends how you look at it really. Women still get paid less and climb up the corporate ladder slower than men, even in developed areas like the US and Western Europe.
    We have to provide them with skills and support and groom them as the next set of leaders at Microsoft.

    To "user"
    I find your comments inappropriate. I think you misunderstood the whole concept.
    Collaboration and communication are things that come more naturally to women (according to one of the speakers). Therefore, she suggested that women should use them. These are well-sought skills that can balance out an agressive work environment.

    The conference celebrated diversity--in gender, color, ethnicity, and work style. Many of the sessions focussed on raising awareness of differences among people--mostly work style differences. Through increased awareness, individual can play to their strenghts, play off differences in a positive way, and cope better when heads butte.

    That the conference had a women's perspective is appropriate because because female representation in corporations, technical fields, business schools has room for improvement. Ongoing socialization and reinforcement to women for female participation in all aspects of work and society can only strengthen cultures and organizations.

    To Eve:

    Maybe this has it's roots in the fact that not groups of people are equal? Females qre not equals to males. ALL IS DIFFERENT. The role is different, the body is different, the mind is different. This IS the fact.

    Look at pages:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female

    Did you notice that pages are completely different? Did you ever notice that males behave in different way than females? Did you ever notices that males are never pregnant? Did you ever noticed that males have COMPLETELY different mindset than females?

    Yes. You did.

    And you are talking about corporate ladder. The difference is MUCH, MUCH bigger than just a corporate ladder. And if differences are much bigger, why I have to be surprised that women climb corporate ladder in DIFFERENT way?

    For example. You have PocketPC. You have desktop. Desktop is more powerful than PocketPC. But PocketPC is more mobile. Can we compare them? NO! Roles of them is different. We can compare roles, not just numbers of CPU power! Do we need desktops? Sure. Do we need PocketPC? Of course. Is PocketPC better than Desktop or Desktop is better than PocketPC? This incorrect question, this depends on what are you doing.

    Just an analogy. The world is not just "numbers".
