I've been invited by TeachFirst to deliver a 1hour talk to a Secondary school, yr 10 children of any topic. I'm not a teacher, I'm a tech professional with 20 years industry experience working for some of the most visionary companies in the world. Any idea what might be inspiring or what might be of interest as a topic? I'm NOT a great speaker but happy to talk around subjects if I prep well for it or simply give a talk on what's it like working for these companies where it's not a 9-5, there are no fixed desks and yes we have ball pits and games rooms for adults. I was thinking about maybe do a bio about me (extremely poor social background) and being female, knowing the statistic is less than 17% women working in tech. However I think that might be boring, and they may have heard and seen it all before. For corporate insights, the truth is that working for these top tech companies is very tough and they expect hard work and commitment. Not unlike any other jobs really but it's not for the faint hearted. I want to be truthful but not off-putting. Any ideas....much appreciated...I'm open to suggestions.
