My Playlist

I’ll cover a little more than a week, but here’s a good sample:

Firstly, this song is more relevant now than it ever has been since my post on letting go:

Of course, attended a St. Patrick’s Day Party at the Retro Road Show so this one is very appropriate:

Of course, we would have celebrated my Uncle Garry’s 58th birthday yesterday, so this is in his honour:

And since yesterday was April Fool’s Day, this must be played:

Since I’m reviewing final reports and composing exams, this will be soon enough:

A bonus one since it just seems appropriate given my state of mind lately in the relationship area:

I Want To Go To FITC Toronto 2013 | Shanta R. Nathwani, B.Com., MCP.

Keynote Address

A few months ago I had the pleasure of sitting on a panel discussion at Girl Geeks Toronto. After that, I wanted to moderate a panel, but thought I should get more experience at being on a panel. Jany Jang accelerated that movement by asking me to moderate a panel for Ryerson Women In Leadership on International Women’s Day about Breaking The Glass Ceiling. I was honoured, but nervous at the same time. One of the things that made it really easy was that I was familiar with the room and some of the people. The other was that I knew one of the panellists, Carolyn Van, very well.

I attended an event a couple of weeks ago at MaRS Discovery District called Gaining Momentum: Women and Technology and now I’ve added another to the list. After hearing Dr. Ilse Treurnict, the CEO at MaRSDD, I need to do a keynote. She was inspiring and any description I gave here would not do her talk justice.

So next time you’re wondering who to get for the keynote, let me know! This one will definitely take me a few years… But I’m okay with that.

As promised, I’m asking for your help in writing my online dating profile. I’ve been putting it off and after this latest fiasco, I’m not delaying another minute. So friends, what would you write in my profile?

Have to add a few photos of course, so which ones would you add and which one would you use as the primary?

Alternatively, I’ve had an offer to re-do some head shots. Might need to do that sooner rather than later.
