In this brief motivational talk, the speaker urges women working in technology—particularly in sales—to believe in themselves, aim high, and actively seek the opportunities they want. She emphasizes the principle that "if you don't ask, you don't receive," encouraging listeners to request part‑time positions, propose custom roles, or simply start bold conversations about their career aspirations. The speaker shares a personal anecdote about a leader who told her that if she had stopped whenever someone said something couldn't be done, the business would not have progressed, reinforcing the message to stay bold and even bolder when faced with challenges. She concludes by celebrating the rewarding nature of tech careers for women and calling for more women to join the field.

women in tech, believe in yourselves, shoot for the stars. You never know what you might hit. Yeah. And, you know, you don't ask, if you don't ask, you don't receive. So if you, if you need that part-time role or you want to craft up a role, you know, be bold, be bold and have the conversation because you can only get a no and you can move on to something else and that's okay as well. And I think, you know, if I look at, you know, where I am now and the leader I have, you know, he said something to me, he said, If I stopped every time someone told me something couldn't be done in what I've built in our business, he said, we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are. So I always say, be, be, be bold. And you know, when you think you're far enough, be even bolder in what you're trying to achieve. And success awaits. It's such an amazing career for our women in tech. We just need more people in tech.
