GOOGLE KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT THE FUTURE

Great slides from Eric SHCMIDT

The women of business just need to be found

And believe they're what people are looking for

What I noticed we do:

  • Doubt how much we know
  • Suffer imposter syndrome
  • Worry about lack of modesty
  • Wait until we’re ready
  • Want to be liked

The answers are

  • Support
  • Hobnobbing
  • Experience
  • Record
  • Adapt

Social media is the answer
