I attended a wonderful leadership development workshop by Jo Miller, called ‘Building your brand’ at Grace Hopper Conference . It was attended by 850 women! I was unsure how a workshop with so many participants would turn out to be. It was thought provoking. I spoke to a lot of other women who like it too. I will write notes about it in the next weeks. But here is what stuck with me:

- Key to finding your brand/career? Knowing where your passion, skills & value to others meet.
- Consider brands that evolve as your career does - entry level, mid-level, senior level.
- Promoting yourself and your accomplishments are a business necessity. Figure out which way works for you, then do it consistently.

There were a steady stream of visitors at the Oracle booth today. Several engineers interested in starting a career. I interviewed a few prospective candidates. Here are a few of us at the booth in disguise! Only at Grace Hopper!
