Let me Introduce You
A community focussed on helping you promote your talents
Welcome to Let Me Introduce You
A community focussed on helping women to promote their talents and explaining what makes you the special and gifted professional that you know (deep down) you really are.
The concept is simple: allow someone with a more holistic view of you to do it for you!
Who is Let Me Introduce You for?
What are we offering?
Our members are women in digital or computing roles looking for support in an industry with a poor track record of diversity and inclusion.
Our focus will be on lifting each other up and encouraging those who struggle with traditional styles of networking to find their voice.
This includes making the experience as accessible and inclusive as possible, and getting feedback from members on how to make it easier for them and to make them feel included.
Networking can take any form - as part of a group, one-to-one, in person or online, and for no-one to feel lonely or unable to access the help they need.
We want to offer our members:
A safe space to talk about challenges: job hunting, pitching for work.
The opportunity to find mentors, or train to be a mentor
A community of members and allies who can offer informal support specific to women
Our Goals:
