HELLO BOSTON: Returning to work/pivoting to a new career? Join Leanne Prevo Rodd and ReBoot Connect Boston for a workshop that will help you craft a resume that addresses the issues specific to women returning after a career break. Feb 13, 9-11am, Workbar Arlington. RSVP here:
https://rebootaccel.com/reboot-connect/boston/
At ReBootAccel we know that women returning to paid work following a career break bring the hard-to-quantify soft skills of maturity, patience, collaboration and much more with them when they return. The business world is starting to wake up and recognize it.
ALUMNA MOMENT. “All experience is valuable experience.”
Meet Lisa Carey, Senior Resource Management Specialist at Deloitte.
Lisa had a compelling and diverse body of work prior to her career pause. She worked for Senators in D.C., served as Chief of Staff for the Federal Railroad Administration, and led sales initiatives and teams at IBM for thirteen years,
...Then, following her career pause and significant volunteer leadership roles in her children’s schools and faith community, she pivoted and pursued her passion and became a grass-fed beef evangelist, co-founding her consumer food company.
When it was time to increase her upside, Lisa was ready to return to corporate, skilled up in tech, networking, and confidence at ReBoot Accel and landed a job at Deloitte.
We think Deloitte is incredibly fortunate.

Happy Monday. Here's to a strong start.
A powerful piece by Amy Nelson, founder of Seattle's premier co-working space for women, The Riveter.
"We sent women to work in this country decades ago as we embraced feminism. History pretends that we invited them to the table. But actually, we let them into the room without giving them a seat, let alone a chance to sit down. This tightrope walk is nearly impossible: Forty-three percent of highly trained professional women with child...ren leave the workforce at some point in their careers. The system is broken, and we know it. Yet we do nothing. Instead, we celebrate the woman who can juggle a career and children with grace, as if this is some sort of achievement. It shouldn’t have to be."

ALUMNA MOMENT. “I believe each person has their own unique path toward vocation.”
Meet Leanne Prevo Rodd, ReBoot Accel alum, seasoned training professional and City Lead for ReBoot Connect Boston (http://bit.ly/2wAQlEN), with experience in the staffing, manufacturing and publishing industries. “I truly enjoy helping women navigate reentry toward paid work and being the catalyst for helping people find meaningful roles. After crafting my own part-time, full-time, and “no-time” work schedules I believe that each person has their own unique path toward vocation. I also believe that women can form powerful networks to support, encourage and engage one another in their reentry journeys.”

A power piece by ReBoot Accel CEO and Co-founder, Diane Johnson Flynn.
"Lack of diversity has long been the elephant in the room for the tech industry and everybody is painfully aware the industry is too pale, too male, and very young. Yet few companies are actually tackling the issue head-on.
Companies need to know diversity goes beyond the moral issue of equality. If a CEO was told software could make their enterprise 45% more likely to grow share and 70% more likely to cap...ture new markets and boost innovation, throwing time and money at it would be a no-brainer. Yet despite the fact that hard data shows that diverse teams — in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, background — are more effective, innovative, and productive, the majority of companies continue to ignore it."
