Does this sound familiar?
You've built a wealth of expertise over the years, yet now you're wondering, "What's next for me?"
You’re asking yourself “How can I help others navigate the same challenges I had?”
You feel a desire for change—uncertain about how to channel your experience into something meaningful and fulfilling.

THE SUPPORT AND MENTORSHIP GRY AND IT GIRLS ROCK HAVE PROVIDED HAS HELPED ME STAND MY GROUND AS A TECH ENTREPRENEUR
Joining IT Girls Rock, and working with Gry, has been transformative. Gry's vision of nurturing a global community of women in tech has created a safe space to share challenges and solutions. In this supportive environment, I found the confidence to address issues I couldn't discuss at work or home. The community has been invaluable for my company, Future Face, providing insights into business strategy, team management, and motivation. As a non-technical owner of a tech business, I now feel empowered to make strategic decisions, knowing I'm not alone. IT Girls Rock is a must for any woman in the tech industry looking for guidance and growth.

FROM SEEKING TO CLARITY AND ACTION: An insight into strength recognition, diversity and career progression.
One of my main objectives was to identify my unique strengths, and the workshop provided me with a well-navigated platform to achieve this goal. Throughout the workshop, I had many 'eureka' moments, and I felt inspired by the celebration of vision, voice, and diversity. The content was well-paced and the journeys shared by others reignited an idea in me. As a result, I created a 'Venn diagram' board to help me take a leap of faith into new waters.

THE REALISATION THAT I CAN USE SKILLS FROM MY PERSONAL LIFE IN PROFESSIONAL ASPIRATIONS WAS MIND-BLOWING...
The 5-day IgniteHer challenge by IT Girls Rock helped me review and renew my career aspirations. I was surprised that the participants from different backgrounds have similar experiences. The DREAM Compass™️ was easy to follow, step by step. I use my plan to check my progress and look forward to hearing from the other participants on their journey.
I highly recommend and encourage you to join to discover your unique strengths and skills, and learn how to apply these as your unique perspectives and value in your work and life. As someone who has used some of the tools in a more general sense, I was surprised to see how relevant it was to career planning. Gry’s personal commitment to help each and every one of us with our unique needs, is second to none.

ONCE I HAD THE BACKING OF A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY, I WAS ABLE TO ACCEPT AND STEP INTO MY POWER...
Throughout my career, I often doubted my authority and did not believe that people were listening to me. Once I joined IT Girls Rock, I found the clarity and support I needed to step into a leadership role. With Gry’s guidance, I learned to recognize when people were truly listening to me, which was incredibly empowering. This newfound confidence enabled me to lead events and connect with women from diverse backgrounds and age groups. IT Girls Rock's community has been instrumental in helping me grow both professionally and personally, fostering a global network of women who support and inspire each other. This experience is perfect for anyone seeking to enhance their career while building meaningful personal connections.

MEETING WOMEN FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND SHARING EXPERIENCES INSPIRED ME TO STEP UP AND STEP INTO MY NEXT ADVENTURE
These workshops provided interesting discussions with other women, as well as career tools and opportunities to engage with them, in a safe and supportive environment. I already knew some of these resources, but engaging with them at this time in my career and with this group of women, provided valuable insights and the motivation to send out 3 resumes this week! Thank you Gry! I look forward to the next IT Girls event."
“It was very validating to hear other women’s similar experiences of working in a male environment.”
