Women in Tech Sri Lanka hosted an interactive event, “Rocket Your Career in STEM,” recently. The workshop, tailored for corporate women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), aimed to equip participants with the tools and insights to ascend to leadership positions in their fields.
Women in Tech Sri Lanka, a local chapter of the global Women in Tech movement headquartered in Paris, is dedicated to empowering women in the tech industry. Recognising the importance of women’s leadership in STEM, Women in Tech Sri Lanka organised the event to support and uplift women professionals in STEM domains. Attendees gained invaluable knowledge and inspiration from HR and Recruitment Specialist, Consultant and International Trainer, Taz Rajabali. Drawing from his vast and diverse experiences working across multiple industries in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Taz has delivered sustainable solutions and enhanced outcomes in areas including Talent Strategy, Leadership Development, Learning and Development, and Technology Implementation for organisations such as McKinsey, Accenture, and Microsoft.
Women in Tech Sri Lanka Chapter Ambassador Chathini Uduwana said, “Taz’s expertise provided attendees with insights into career acceleration strategies, effective communication of value, and overcoming challenges in STEM. His hands-on guidance on goal-setting, accountability and emphasising the importance of quantifiable outcomes resonated deeply with participants. In the end, they were able to consider what grassroots changes they could make to progress to the next stage in STEM, particularly leadership.”
Uduwana said, “He also led interactive exercises on networking and troubleshooting, creating an engaging and supportive environment among attendees. By encouraging open dialogue and collective problem-solving, they tackled career-related challenges with creativity and resilience.”
Taz Rajabali’s commitment to empowering persons extends beyond his professional endeavours. Through Melius Consulting, his recruitment and consulting agency, he challenges conventional thinking and practices in HR and Hiring. His pro-bono initiative, Rockstar Coaching, has helped over 5,000 people worldwide unlock their true potential.
