TEC Women December Edition

The December edition of TEC Women Connect was held at CSPACE in Newquay, kindly hosted by Crowdfunder. The theme was Know Your Worth, and over 30 women in the tech, engineering, and creative digital sectors in Cornwall gathered to learn, connect, and toast the end of another unusual year.

There were so many brilliant resources mentioned by speakers and attendees that we thought it was worth sharing some of them in case you need and Christmas reading material.

• Brené Brown’s Ted talk on vulnerability (and her growing collection of books here)
• Period Power by Maisie Hill – harnessing the hormone cycle
• Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez –  (sign up to her weekly newsletter here)
• Untamed by Glennon Doyle
• Get Your Sparkle Back by Sally Beaton
• The Joy of Missing Out by Tanya Dalton
• Lucy is running a 2 day (school hour friendly) workshop in the new year to dig into some of the themes covered a bit more, and provide you with techniques to make positive progress.
• You can join the TECwomen slack channel here.

And if you know anyone who might like to find out about future TECWomen Connect events, you can share the link for them to sign up here.
