Representing @yow_conf with @marlousteh at @MicrosoftAU #womenthinknext! https://t.co/RoGDDGRXHs
@azadehkhojandi Missed you! I’m at the front table. 😍
I hadn’t realised this was the first #womenthinknext event in Australia! Nice one @MicrosoftWomen @MicrosoftAU https://t.co/XEpPBX0S4r
The video from our recent @yow_conf #yownight talk with @TacticalGrace is up! Thanks @zoeydoesnttweet for sharing. 😍 https://t.co/V8fCMQnqEy
Listening to @stevenworrall1 making the case for leadership diversity and acknowledging the reality that: we all agree on these facts and it’s ridiculous we still have to push for it. #WomenThinkNext @MicrosoftAU @MicrosoftWomen https://t.co/WYwnU2xcmo
As we see in the tech industry every day, when companies’ actual behaviour differs from their lofty business visions, the market will call them out on that. @stevenworrall1 @MicrosoftAU @MicrosoftWomen #womenthinknext
“I’ve worked in HR my whole career – BY CHOICE…” 😂👏 Ingrid Jenkins talking about the role of HR in pushing diversity initiatives, and acknowledgement that it permeates so much more of businesses these days. #WomenThinkNext @MicrosoftWomen @MicrosoftAU https://t.co/CiXqrIFSew
LOL. Just realised @azadehkhojandi is sitting like 8 feet from me. 😂👋 https://t.co/FCtgojzp7B
It really makes you look like a grown up, professional woman when you dribble coffee all down your front. 🙃 (Hopefully it’s not as noticeable on my shirt.) https://t.co/1fiSfFaRO5
@sarahcalverley Really hoping the photographers don’t capture it. 😂
“I make it mandatory that we have women interviewing for every role. If that means it takes longer to hire, so be it.” Tiffany Wright from @MicrosoftAU @MicrosoftWomen #WomenThinkNext https://t.co/HvM8YDJyvO
The problem of how to progress your career while juggling caregiving should not be a women-only problem. It’s a household problem! 🙌 #WomenThinkNext @MicrosoftWomen @MicrosoftAU https://t.co/LpMB9l2iVD
@FakeSamRitchie I’m not sure. There is a rubber gasket in the lid, but I thought I screwed it down well. 🤔
One approach to hiring diverse teams is to stop thinking about screening out and instead think about screening IN. Think about the real needs of the org and whether this person brings something to the table. #WomenThinkNext @MicrosoftAU @MicrosoftWomen https://t.co/ZBnSRR4qJg
I asked about pay parity. Pleased to hear @MicrosoftAU have independent audits of remuneration every year. More companies need to do this. #WomenThinkNext @MicrosoftWomen https://t.co/Bi2pwOniQN
TFW you’re torn between wanting to applaud someone’s sentiment and the irritation that It Is Not a Question.
@markdalgleish @jesstelford @sidorares @AshKyd @garrows @campjs Fascinating discussion. We do often have speakers at @yow_conf each December who bring their families and kids along. I suspect they are all at companies where speaking is seen as part of their roles though.
@markdalgleish @jesstelford @sidorares @AshKyd @garrows @campjs @yow_conf Thinking in particular of @thinkingfish and @trisha_gee. How do you handle this?
RT @tinatran4t: Powerful message from the #womenthinknext panel – The ticket to the game is high performance, regardless of your background…
@malcolmsheridan @MicrosoftAU @MicrosoftWomen No one is arguing with you. The point is that often our job descriptions aren’t inline with the skills the orgs actually need, and it’s a good idea to check you aren’t excluding folks with useful skills.
Fascinating stuff – @jade_mikaela demoing how her company #indigital uses AR and HoloLens to preserve stories and languages from indigenous people. #WomenThinkNext @MicrosoftAU @MicrosoftWomen https://t.co/PfLsKxARQc
@jade_mikaela @MicrosoftAU @MicrosoftWomen Okay, that’s pretty neat! #WomenThinkNext https://t.co/w09MtFg23l
@jamiebuilds 😂 Ouch.
“How many indigenous women technologists do you know? We’re amazing, creative inventors!” Shout outs to @taminap and the awesome folks at @indigitek! 👋 @jade_mikaela #womenthinknext @MicrosoftWomen @MicrosoftAU https://t.co/WV2Cq98k7J
@developerjack @JoshWComeau In workshop with Damian Conway, he said he budgets 10-20hrs of prep for each hour of talk. That’s in line with my experience.
I won a copy of @satyanadella’s book! Thanks @MicrosoftWomen @MicrosoftAU #womenthinknext https://t.co/whMjT61n5B
@mattallen @MelissaKaulfuss With respect (and some jealousy) – I think it’s part of your privilege that you don’t assume it’s because they think you’re unqualified. Others have to worry about that.

@KenScambler @damncabbage @jedws I got to be the rubber duck! 😂👍

@MelissaKaulfuss Please count me in!
@MelissaKaulfuss Will do!
Did Google Drive change? Previously I could drag in a file that matched an existing filename and it would save as a new version by default. Now it looks like the default is keep as separate doc, and the only way to update version is by separate flow with 6 clicks. 😒
@evanderkoogh @yow_conf The Snook recently used one to label his 🛴 at work. 😂 https://t.co/ud28KoFdWZ
@stephenlead 😂 Surely the solution is to go full-hipster and wear all black, right?
@starbuxman Zero. I have to wipe it, like, once a day.
