Because we all need a little pause every once in a while, LebNet’s Women in Tech community hosted an online session on May 26th 2022 titled ‘Network and Take a Creative Pause’, to offer a space to reflect on the positive things to hang on to and the negative ones to let go. To do so, the session featured a fun drawing activity where the attendees artistically expressed their best and worst moments from the last two years and discussed them together.  

The session was moderated by Karine Sarkissian, LebNet WiT Community Co-lead & Networking and Startup Program Lead, and Founding Partner at Tamar Capital. Thanks to the relaxed format, participants enjoyed taking the time to reflect, share their thoughts and live in the moment. 

“Thank you so much for not rushing us through the activities and for providing a space to share,” said Aya Mouallem, WiT Outreach Program Lead, Electrical Engineering PHD Student at Stanford University, and Co-founder of All Girls Code. 

This event is a great reminder that everyone needs time to relax, take a deep breath and think despite their hectic work and life schedules. It is one of many events organized by the LebNet Women in Tech community.
