Women@Apple

Pinch Me

On March 12, I was invited to attend A Force Together, a fireside chat with Women@Apple and two powerhouse project managers, who also happen to be close friends, at the Apple Culver City office in support of International Women’s Month.

Dr. Syreeta Bond DBA, PMP and Asya Watkins, MBA, 6σGB, PMP® led the discussion in front of a theatre of Apple’s amazing talent. The discussion, questions and synergy in the room was palpable.

It felt as though I was living in someone else’s reality.

My gratitude level is through the roof. When I think about my journey with The PM Suite, never could I have imagined it would take me to Apple. Nor would it mean I’d be able to share in that experience with two brilliant leaders and friends.

Support Is a Verb

When I reflect on Women’s Month, I’m reminded that the premise behind it also includes support. Thinking about some of the greatest names in history or even some of the women in my personal life - they required support along their journey towards success. Pause and think about who in your circle, or nonprofit or leader can you support. Not just this month, but how can you show up for them on a “just because” occasion?

This moment at Apple, supporting soul fulfilling friends, was an honor.

I literally got to hype them up in the hallways of Apple! During women’s month. Two black women. Leading the space of project management. Where the odds of women in this industry are stacked against us. Yet, they were celebrated in one of the top international tech companies.

I don’t know if you can tell from this blog, but this moment in history uplifts me in so many ways.

Final Takeaway

This fireside chat was merely a prelude to the Women of Project Management Conference! Both of these ladies, myself and many other professional women in the industry are making our way to New Orleans!

My final take on support, I’m actually investing in one person to attend the conference. You will receive a VIP ticket ($3,500 value)! In addition to access to the PM Boss Academy Course. This Standing in Your Power giveaway ends on March 31, so enter to win today. THIS GIVEAWAY HAS CLOSED
