Motivation is the power that propels us to reach our goals and dreams.
My talk is about motivation through the eyes of a woman who is a mother, an engineer, a professor or a practitioner. What are the sparks that trigger a technology vocation in a little girl? What are the barriers she may find along the way? What keeps her motivation alive? What can we do to help her?
I don’t have the answers, but I’ve managed to protect my motivation despite the challenges I’ve found during my career. This is the experience I would like to share with you.
