Despite many efforts\, the numbers haven’t changed much. Why? All too often\, diversity initiatives are designed w ithout understanding the underlying dynamics. At Navigate IT’s 1st allie s event (men\, this is your chance to join us)\, you will have the oppor tunity to be involved in a groundbreaking conversation on gender dynamic s in tech. Be ready to share your perspective! To prepare: • Think about what is great about being a man or a woman in tech. • Articulate some o f the challenges you face related to your gender. • Notice the gender dy namics in your workplace. We will use a polarity map from the Integral f ramework to bring some of these dynamics to light. We will discover that ordinary aspects of our work lives\, things we take for granted or don’ t think about\, can be obstacles - even with our best intentions. Expect a rich and engaging conversation in a safe space. You will: • Have the opportunity to share your perspective and hear others’ perspectives. • G ain a greater understanding of how gender dynamics influence your teams. • Leave with new insight to help you navigate diversity.  This is a rar e opportunity to have a positive\, honest dialog about important issues in the tech industry. It will be led by Terra Soma\, co-founder of Navig ate IT and Certified Integral Facilitator®. Her roles in tech have range d from ecommerce analyst to software project manager. She now facilitate s collaboration for tech teams. Terra will be joined by Zachary Feder\, a former associate with LionHeart Consulting. He is well trained in grou p dynamics and conflict resolution and is a longtime student of Integral Theory. What your peers are saying about Terra and Zachary: "\;I ha ve rarely been in a public environment where I felt both supported and c hallenged. Most of these engagements end up either being too wishy-washy \, or too confrontational. Terra and Zachary are a perfect yin-yang\, ne ither of whom comes across as a cliche based on their gender\, what we m ight think of as traditional feminine or masculine qualities. They both modeled all of them. Having that as their Way of Being made it all the e asier for me to allow my own range of emotions to play out in the sessio n. Comfortable\, worthwhile\, evolving. People say events "\;changed their life\,"\; and it can seem overstated\, but I found out things about myself I was never able to put into words before\, and yes\, that changed my life."\;- Joe B.\, Technical Trainer What your peers are saying about Navigate IT “Best 2 hours I have spent all week.” – Streng th’s Lab participant Event Schedule 6:00-6:30 food and networking 6:30-8 :00 discussion If you want to sign up for the event without joining the Meetup Group\, you can register at Soma Collaborations.\n\nImported fro m: http://calagator.org/events/1250468995 URL:http://www.meetup.com/Navigate-IT-a-Skills-Lab-for-Portland-Women-in- Tech/events/224031299/ SUMMARY:Want More Women in Tech?
