Sonja Bernhardt who I have previously interviewed on this site, is in the media again. This time it is to do with the Million $ Babes initiative that she has created. Sonja is a leader and a role model to men and women around the world, within the IT industry. Her passion and enthusiasm to promote the industry to the masses is something that I openly admire. I personally think Sonja is great. I look up to her as an amazing leader and am so inspired by her.

It has been a while since I have updated my blog. I have been busy with work (as everyone in IT no doubt is) and have also been very busy organising an international conference for the ACS Young IT. The conference (I will do another blog update entirely on this) is titled the 2008 International Young ICT Professionals Conference and is themed ‘Building a Successful ICT Career – Learn, Develop, Lead!’.

Since I have been so busy with the conference, I have had very little (or no) time to update my site.

Seeing Sonja’s initiative, has really inspired me again. I don’t know what she does, or how she does it, but she really makes you want to do better and to achieve more in your career.

I went to the Million $ Babes site which lists some extraordinary women who have been recognised for their achievements in the ICT industry. I have read the profiles of the women. If you haven’t seen the site, you really should go there and have a read. The profiles of all the women listed is so amazing. They have all really achieved so much in their careers and their companies are really so interesting. Good on them all I say!!

Once I started looking at the site, I couldn’t stop. It really is quite good. Already the site and the fact that it is another Sonja Bernhardt initiative, is gaining a lot of press in the media with the Sydney Morning Herald  and Computerworld all writing articles already.

Through looking through the site, I came across the page on Careers in IT  and my site was listed!!

Seeing my site on there has made me so happy! That is the real reason why this post (after such a long break) is up. Thank you Sonja, you have inspired me once again.
