CEDIA 2011 Breakfast Event Recap
Deb Boelkes of Business Women Rising, was a fantastic speaker! She expected to speak to a group entirely comprised of women the morning she keynoted Women in CE's third annual breakfast reception on Sept. 10 during CEDIA EXPO 2011. To her surprise, the sold-out audience included a healthy representation of male colleagues, which only reinforced Boelkes's message of striving to create stronger, more inclusive teams in corporate America.
Boelkes has had stints at AT&T, IBM, Fujitsu and Arrow Electronics, where she enjoyed working on new and leading-edge technology. But, like in her first college classroom, she consistently noticed the lack of women in her work environment.
Deb told us that there are less than 3 percent of women who are CEOs in Fortune 500 companies and that 46 percent of new hires leave their job in the first year. Boelkes believes women can affect change in these areas.
Here are some of her tips:
Wrapping up the morning, was Tricia Nystrom, Sr. Merchant, Best Buy, Magnolia, Audio & Home Control, and Women in CE member. She spoke about WOLF@Best Buy, the network of thousands of employees who work with individuals, brands, partners, stores and communities to help Best Buy build strong women leaders and capture a greater share of the female consumer electronics market.
Please share with our Women in CE community your thoughts about the event and your take on what it takes to be a leader.
