March is a month for us to celebrate women, as we honor both Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day.
As a Vaulter and member of our Women in Technology Employee Resource Group (ERG), I recently had the great honor and privilege to lead a group of students at San Diego City College for the «City Women Rock» Conference to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th. The conference is designed to ignite, inspire, empower, and uplift students – many of whom face significant adversity, such as overcoming challenges of poverty, domestic and gang-related violence, and personal hardships. During the conference, our local community came together to share stories of triumph, reflecting on the many achievements of women throughout history and providing a blueprint for not only achieving goals, but lifting up others along the way. «City Women Rock»se centra en las siguientes estrategias clave para empoderar a las mujeres a fin de que alcancen sus metas:
- La práctica de la gratitud
- Escribir un diario
- Dar prioridad al cuidado personal
- Expresar tus sueños
- Fijarse objetivos
- Positive affirmations
- Asking for help
- Transforming fear into fuel
- Overcoming self-limiting beliefs
Estas estrategias me llegan profundamente, y fue un honor para mí intervenir en la conferencia para compartir más sobre este tema y mi historia personal de cómo superé un trastorno alimentario, una adicción y una baja autoestima en mis primeros años de adolescencia. Estos retos me llevaron, en última instancia, a un camino de 15 años de sanación, transformación y crecimiento. Puedo decir con orgullo que salí de esa etapa con un amor propio inquebrantable y una confianza interior sólida. La puesta en práctica de cambios positivos me ha permitido convertirme en la mujer, madre, hija, hermana, amiga y líder que siempre quise ser.
I’m so thankful for my local community and the opportunities that organizations like City Women Rock provide to women to allow us to be our best selves. I’m also grateful for my Vaulter community and our Women in Technology ERG. This ERG brings together both women and allies to elevate and advance gender equality in technology and celebrate the inspiring women of Commvault who are driving our innovation and growth every day.
We all have personal stories to share of strength, stability and overcoming adversity. As we continue to celebrate women throughout March, let’s remember the importance of empowering ourselves and others to uplift, inspire and encourage each other to achieve GREATNESS.
