Yes, amazing. Not good enough. Talk to me when it’s at least 50% or better yet, 100%. Give us 100% for a couple hundred years. How about 100% Native American women for a couple hundred years.</p> https://nyghtowl.com/posts/2013/03/room-full-of-brilliant-women/ Fri, 15 Mar 2013 05:58:00 +0000 https://nyghtowl.com/posts/2013/03/room-full-of-brilliant-women/ <p>My favorite part about Hackbright so far has been that I am working with such smart and driven women who are constantly geeking out on technology. It also adds to the challenge of the experience. We had two alumni visiting today that spoke about how they were amazed by their class but also intimidated whether they were good enough to be part of the program.</p> <p>I come from a background of many years in the consulting industry where confidence is key. Many times you are thrown into a situation where you have to solve ambiguous problems and pretend like you know what you are doing whether you do or you are getting up to speed on the fly. Based on that experience, I know I have a wealth of knowledge and valuable skills as well as I am very capable at applying myself.</p>
