Coles Right Brain Girl Left Brain World: One woman's journey to find her voice at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

How did a small-town girl who spent her teenage days steeped in the words of Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Frost, end up with a 25-year career working in the 1's and 0's, logically stimulated, fiscally fortified world of Silicon Valley? A data-driven world that typically deems people like me as artsy and pleasantly daft on a good day and downright inconsequential on others. I wish I could say my successful career was a brilliantly pre-conceived "Lean In" strategy to outsmart the limitations, but, ironically, it was blissful ignorance that fueled my success. I just didn't know, until I did. My memoir Right Brain Girl. Left Brain World. describes how I found a new way to equalize a male-dominated industry's lopsided power structure. As I maneuvered through the left-brained collective and played by their rules, it left me playing small. Ironically the road that asked me to quietly assimilate is the path that led me back to my authentic self, honoring all that I am and mobilizing my strengths as a woman. I hope my story will reaffirm for other women that their experience, intelligence (both rational and emotional), collaborative nature, innate drive, powerful intuition, and unique brand of leadership are needed. In fact, they are desperately required to balance the equilibrium that has been far too absent in today's technology world.
