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”si concentra sulle seguenti strategie chiave per dare alle donne gli strumenti necessari a raggiungere i propri obiettivi:
- La pratica della gratitudine
- Tenere un diario
- Dare priorità alla cura di sé
- Esprimere i propri sogni
- Definizione degli obiettivi
- Positive affirmations
- Asking for help
- Transforming fear into fuel
- Overcoming self-limiting beliefs
Queste strategie mi toccano profondamente, ed è stato un onore per me intervenire alla conferenza per approfondire l’argomento e raccontare la mia storia personale di come ho superato un disturbo alimentare, una dipendenza e una scarsa autostima nei miei primi anni di adolescenza. Queste sfide mi hanno infine condotta lungo un percorso di guarigione, trasformazione e crescita durato 15 anni. Posso dire con orgoglio di esserne uscita con un amore per me stessa incrollabile e una profonda fiducia in me stessa. L’aver messo in atto cambiamenti positivi mi ha permesso di diventare la donna, la madre, la figlia, la sorella, l’amica e la leader che ho sempre desiderato essere.
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.
