À propos de cet audio
In this episode of TEN, host LaShonna Dorsey talks with Colleen Schinker and Sonja Figueroa from Women in Tech of the Heartland about leadership, community, and navigating change in today’s tech workforce.
Colleen, co-founder and president of Women in Tech of the Heartland, shares how the group has grown over the past decade hosting nearly 170 events that connect and empower women across Nebraska’s tech ecosystem. Sonja, the organization’s operations director, opens up about her own layoff experience and how it inspired their upcoming November event, The Human Side of Layoffs, which explores this topic from multiple perspectives: employees, managers, HR leaders, and families.
Together, they discuss how transparency and empathy can strengthen teams, reduce stigma, and help individuals rebuild confidence after major career transitions. They also share details about Women in Tech’s annual Jingle Mingle event, a December celebration that brings the tech community together for connection and giving back.
This episode is a thoughtful look at how Nebraska’s tech community continues to grow stronger through real conversations and shared experiences.
