“When you start something good, the feedback motivates you to do more…”
My Take Away’s From Today’s Episode:
You build problem solving skills with experience you get from doing
If you plan well and have a back up plan; with time you improve on the quality of projects you deliver
The little things and little wins counts; it all adds up
You can do anything you put your mind to…
The fact that you are not coding does not mean you cannot be in tech
You need to be intentional about anything you want to achieve in life or career
Don’t be afraid of failure… Without failure and learning from your mistakes, you can’t succeed
A tree doesn’t come up in a day, it takes time.

“Making programming fun and something ladies and girls can do…”,
“A whole lot of people would love to learn and acquire new skills, they might not just have equal opportunities…”
Demystifying the Myths
There is an unconscious barrier built by society, stereotypes and views about what kind of careers women and ladies can and can’t do… this is wrong, If we all do what we can, where we are, we can change stereotypes and change limiting beliefs
