A few years ago, I become a mother and an orphan, almost overnight. Sitting in my house in the woods, grieving with young children, I knew my road to happiness lay in creating and building with technology. But the industry had shifted radically -- it felt like the train had left the station. Indeed, people told me "Nope. Not gonna happen.” I was 39, invisible, and irrelevant.

I decided I to make myself essential, by showing up. I decided to attend 100 events and write 1000 online comments.

By the time I was done, I was Founder/CEO of a funded startup, a recognized voice in the industry, and one of Forbes Ten Female Entrepreneurs To Watch. Today, I work with the world's leading corporations on the Future of Innovation.

U.S. corporations have eviscerated mid-level management -- a paradigm shift which leaves people age 40+ struggling to redefine themselves online. This inspirational talk shares proven steps to bring your authentic, essential wisdom into the new social world.
