From caravans to kitchen tables, and podcast production to pregnancy, I've been speaking to many women in and around the technology sector about how they have adapted to the challenges of working during the coronavirus pandemic.
The digital skills gap is costing the economy billions. People, and even entire corporations, are so far behind. I am driven by this fear that next week I could lose another couple. But I have now got 60% more business back in. Then, my relationship ended. My best friend moved out of our flat. And suddenly, the only contact I had with others was through Zoom.
Now, I don't know what the future holds or whether things will ever go back to the way they were. But if they don't, it's OK - I have a new business and a new life.I have worked from home before. And at the start of lockdown, I didn't think it would be that much of a big deal. But it turned out that working from the kitchen table was very uncomfortable.
Instead, we are holding five free webinars and have organised a 50-hour online extravaganza, with blog and social media posts and a YouTube playlist.I've had to find and evaluate livestreaming services and conference platforms, something that I've never had to consider before.
