Not Technical Enough, Not Strategic Enough: Dinah Davis on Building Code Like a Girl
<p>Dinah Davis spent eight years at BlackBerry, first as a software developer, then leading the team that built cryptographic protocols nobody had built before. She has a master's degree in cryptography and the patents to prove it. None of that stopped her from being told, at different points in her career, that she wasn't technical enough. Or, from different people, that she wasn't strategic enough. Same person, two opposite verdicts, and a pattern more women in tech will recognize than most companies would like to admit.</p><p></p><p>In this episode of Leadership Recalibrated™, Dinah traces her path from the bleeding edge of mobile security to founding Code Like a Girl, and talks candidly about the parts of corporate leadership she never got good at, and why she's not sorry about it.</p><p></p><p>This is a conversation about the standards that get invented after the fact, the cost of caring too much in a system that doesn't reward it, and what happens when you stop trying to win a game you never agreed to play.</p><p> </p><p><b>About Our Guest:</b></p><p>Dinah Davis spent 20 years in tech, from writing cryptographic protocols at BlackBerry to leading engineering teams as a VP, most recently at Arctic Wolf. She holds a master's in cryptography and multiple patents. In 2016, she founded Code Like a Girl, a publication amplifying women's voices in tech, which she now runs full-time. She writes about careers, leadership, and the parts of the industry nobody puts in the recruiting brochure.</p><p></p><p>Connect with Dinah: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dinahdavis/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/dinahdavis/</a></p><p>Subscribe to Code Like A Girl: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://substack.com/@codelikeagirl" target="_blank">https://substack.com/@codelikeagirl</a></p><p>Subscribe to She Writes AI: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://substack.com/@shewritesai" target="_blank">https://substack.com/@shewritesai</a></p>

The Menopause Mindshift: Reclaiming Your Power When Everything Feels Like It Is Falling Apart
<p>Most women navigate menopause the same way they were taught to navigate everything else — quietly, alone, and without complaining. Our mothers did not talk about it. Our grandmothers did not talk about it. And so when the symptoms arrived, we pushed through, wore the mask, and told ourselves it was just part of getting older.</p><p></p><p>Lisa R. Triggs did that too. For years.</p><p></p><p>In this episode of Leadership Recalibrated™, I sit down with Lisa, known as The Menopause Queen, to talk about what happens when you stop letting menopause control you and start making choices that change everything. Lisa managed her own journey without medication — using visualization, meditation, journaling, and a mindset shift that she now teaches through her coaching practice, bestselling book, and speaking work.</p><p></p><p>What she has to say is going to reframe the way you think about this chapter of life entirely.</p><p></p><p>We get into why the story we have been told about menopause is the thing making it harder, how the hormonal changes of midlife bring buried things back to the surface and what to do when that happens, why the strength that women in leadership wear as armor is often a mask for the vulnerability underneath, what it looks like to grieve who you used to be while building someone even better, and the one rule Lisa wants retired from the old playbook about what women are capable of at this stage of life.</p><p></p><p>This one is for every woman who has ever felt like she was disappearing inside her own body and needed someone to tell her that the other side of this is worth fighting for.</p><p></p><p><b>About Our Guest</b></p><p>The Menopause Queen, Lisa R. Triggs is a certified menopause coach, motivational speaker, best selling author and podcast host. With a deep love for personal growth, Lisa has spent nearly 20 years navigating the rollercoaster of menopause; an experience that ultimately transformed her life.</p><p></p><p>In her bestselling book, <b><i>The Menopause Mindshift: How I Unleashed My Inner Queen, And You Can Too!</i></b>, Lisa shares her story to inspire other women to take back control, prioritize their well-being, and step into their power.</p><p></p><p>Today, she stands as a voice of hope, showing women that menopause doesn’t have to be a struggle—it can be a powerful awakening. Her mission is to help others awaken their inner Queen, embrace self-love, and redefine what it means to thrive in this life phase.</p><p></p><p><b>Connect with Lisa</b></p><p>Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://themenopausemindshift.com/" target="_blank">https://themenopausemindshift.com</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisartriggs/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisartriggs</a></p><p>Buy her book: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.ca/Menopause-Mindshift-Unleashed-Inner-Queen-ebook/dp/B0DJG47FS8" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.ca/Menopause-Mindshift-Unleashed-Inner-Queen-ebook/dp/B0DJG47FS8</a></p><p></p>

Inclusion Starts With I: How Women Can Shape The AI Era Before It Shapes Them
<p>Most of the technology shaping our world right now was not built with women in mind. The algorithms deciding who gets hired, who gets promoted, and whose ideas get amplified were built largely without us, trained largely without us, and are now being deployed at a scale that is moving faster than most of us can keep up with.</p><p></p><p>The numbers are sobering. 86% of jobs most exposed to AI automation are held by women. Women make up less than 25% of the workforce actually building AI. And the World Economic Forum estimates it will take 123 years to close the gender parity gap worldwide. In 2026, women are still making 83 to 86 cents for every dollar a man earns for the same work.</p><p>But today's guest is not here to talk about the problem. She is here to talk about what we do about it.</p><p></p><p>In this episode of Leadership Recalibrated™, I sit down with Miri Rodriguez, Founder and CEO of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://Empressa.ai" target="_blank">Empressa.ai</a>, the groundbreaking AI platform built on women's lived experiences, trained on women's knowledge, and designed to close the very gaps the technology industry has spent decades widening. After 13 years at Microsoft, where she became one of the company's most recognized storytellers and published the award-winning bestseller Brand Storytelling, Miri left one of the most powerful platforms in the world to build something the industry had never seen before.</p><p></p><p>We get into why AI is either the most powerful tool women have ever had access to or the fastest way to permanently hard-code today's gaps into tomorrow's opportunities at scale, what it actually means for an AI to be built on women's lived experiences and why that changes everything about how it responds, the Empressa Imperial Council and the model that pays women royalties for the knowledge they contribute, how to start closing the gap today, and the rule Miri wants every woman to rewrite before she walks into her next room.</p><p></p><p>This one will fire you up. And it is supposed to.</p><p></p><p><b>About Our Guest</b></p><p>Miri Rodriguez is the Founder and CEO of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://Empressa.ai" target="_blank">Empressa.ai</a>, a groundbreaking AI company reshaping the future of work for women. With 13 years at Microsoft, where she evolved from communications and marketing into one of the company's most recognized storytellers, Miri built and led work that changes how organizations connect with people. That body of work became her bestselling book, Brand Storytelling, published by Kogan Page, translated into four languages, and recognized with multiple awards worldwide.</p><p></p><p>Now she is channeling everything she built at Microsoft into something the market has never seen before. Empressa is an AI platform built on women's lived experiences, trained on women's knowledge, and designed to close the very gaps the technology industry has spent decades widening.</p><p></p><p>She is also the author of the book The Women of Microsoft, an advisor to Ragan's Center for AI Strategy, and one of the clearest, most urgent voices on what it is going to take for women to stop adapting to systems that were never built for them and start building the ones that are.</p><p></p><p><b>Connect with Miri</b></p><p>LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mirirod" target="_blank">https://linkedin.com/mirirod</a></p><p>Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://empressa.ai" target="_blank">https://empressa.ai</a></p><p> </p>
