Protecting Kids In A Connected World with Comcast VP, Michelle Gilbert
This week who better to celebrate our "Women on the Rise" event in Tech Town Detroit last Saturday than Vice President of Public Relations for the Heartland Division of Comcast. An expert in her field and mom of two daughters has over 30 years in the game. Michelle walks us through how she kept her career afloat even while taking time to focus on family first while spending years in a dead end job, knowing the flexibility it provided was priceless. She may not have been growing "title wise" in her career but it allowed her to keep a foot in the door of a field she enjoyed so much. With daughters who are now pre-teens as a mom in the tech field we talk what parenting in todays world looks like with the ever evolving world of technology and the growing concerns of "screen time". Offering all kinds of tips and tricks Michelle also reminds us that as a mother we are always juggling, and losing a few along the way is inevitable. Its how we prioritize what balls are okay to lose and what balls the "mom ball" is number one. We're still elated over Michelle's incredible support last weekend at our "Women on the Rise".
