I love the Tech For Good award. I‘m always passionate about how we, as a technology ecosystem, can give back to communities.
It takes grit and passion to add CSR to someone’s daily life, so I admire anyone who undertakes these types of activities.
It’s super important, particularly for women. In my experience, women are less likely to self-promote—generally speaking—than men for a variety of reasons. Awards, if done on a regular basis, showcases that it‘s okay to promote yourself because others like you are doing it too.
Maybe for mentoring others—I do this regularly and enjoy helping small business leaders grow their business, or refocus on key areas to improve productivity.
