Produced by #bossbabesATX, SHE TALKS is an ongoing discussion-based personal and professional development series, tackling topics from finances to intersectional feminism.
On September 28 at REVELRY, we'll host the third and final session in our summer installation of SHE TALKS, exploring lifestyle design.
Know your worth, then add tax. Our third and final session in this summer SHE TALKS series is all about boundaries and negotiation. How do we maintain discipline in our careers? How do we negotiate our time? How do we determine when it's time to reassess our strategy and invest in a new culture for ourselves?
Presented in partnership with Aceable, SHE TALKS: My Boundaries, My Balance will feature three panelists, chatting their holistic approach to "work/life balance" and boundaries, as well as a negotiation activity led by Tanya Tarr.
Meet the speakers for Session Three:
Hannah Black with Google
Magatte Wade of Skin is Skin
Ivy Le of 9Terrains
Tanya Tarr, health coach and negotiations specialist
Hannah Black recently joined Google as a cloud technology account executive in early 2017. Prior to Google, Hannah was in corporate finance and technology sales at IBM. She currently leads Google Cloud’s local diversity initiatives and is a passionate advocate of minority rights. She believes technology and personal finance are essential to having agency over our careers and lives, which informs most of her community involvement. In her spare time, Hannah enjoys collecting vintage toys, taking regular trips to Disneyland, and hanging out with her Pomeranian, Zoe. She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in finance from The University of Texas at Austin.
Tanya Tarr is a certified integrative health coach specializing in recovery from adrenal fatigue and exhaustion. Her practice brings together restorative nutrition, time management techniques and collaborative negotiation skills to help people "stay in the stress" of demanding lives, supporting people in creating their way to success. She's also a regular contributor to Women@Forbes.
Magatte Wade is a passionate adventurer and idealistic entrepreneur. Born in Senegal, educated in Germany and France, she left for the U.S. as soon as she could to begin my career. Here she lived and worked in Silicon Valley at the height of the dotcom boom, started a beverage company that obtained national distribution at leading natural food retailers and distributors, and at its height featured former top executives from Peet's Coffee, SoBe, Odwalla, and PepsiCo. She now leads initiatives at Skin is Skin.
Ivy Le was in the AT&T War Room when the Apple iPhone launched and irrevocably changed the Internet’s role in business and in our daily lives. She led the business-to-business committee on Jackson Spalding’s social media team, and she speaks frequently at her alma mater, the Grady College of Mass Communications at the University of Georgia. She has published poetry and nonfiction, as prolifically producing content in her personal life as in her professional life.
