Also discussed: What’s new, what’s coming — and what the future holds for CableLabs under his leadership.

In 2009, the Rocky Mountain chapter of Women in Telecommunications and Cable invited me to moderate a roundtable discussion featuring 10 former “Women of the Year.”

This final roundtable segment talks about women in technology, in cable. Women sometimes doubt themselves and their ability to rise to the next level — even when they may be more qualified than men.

In 2009, the Rocky Mountain chapter of Women in Telecommunications and Cable invited me to moderate a roundtable discussion featuring 10 former “Women of the Year.”
We begin this segment with an excerpt from journalist Margerie Williams’ essay “Thank You Clarence Thomas,” which shines a contemporary spotlight on the word “feminism”. The term bulges with connotations, mostly negative. We discuss whether there’s value in repositioning of the word, and how the future of feminism and women’s rights lies in the ability to partner, not exclude, men. The notion of leadership must also be reevaluated, the participants explain, to include ideas of community.

In 2009, the Rocky Mountain chapter of Women in Telecommunications and Cable invited me to moderate a roundtable discussion featuring 10 former “Women of the Year.”

In this segment, we discuss this first-time reality: Right now, and for the first time ever, four generations of women are present in the workplace. This creates … unique situations, which are illuminated. Bottom line: Understanding the differences between these generational groups is useful — because with a little effort, the unique gifts and qualities of each generation can work together. We also discuss how these differences are best addressed in the workplace — and the positive outcomes that can be created when one knows what motivates each generation.
