I don’t know about you, but I’m often inspired to do my best
work after talking with new people I meet in the industry. There are so many
brilliant people working in and around gaming, and hearing how others address
unique challenges and find success helps me generate new ideas and hone my own approach
to my career and day-to-day business tasks.
Unfortunately, due to the myriad demands we all have on our
time, these opportunities to learn from one another are sometimes few and far
between. So, how can we glean knowledge and insight from our peers when meeting
face-to-face isn’t always an option? We developed the “Coffee Break”
video series, a program of Global Gaming Women, with this challenge
squarely in mind.
“Coffee Break” brings together women leaders from throughout
the global industry to offer their personal insights on business, leadership
and career issues. The videos are purposefully short – most are one minute or
less – and they feature advice and leadership strategies applicable not just to
women, but to anyone working in the modern gaming industry.
Currently, there are 11 different leaders featured on “Coffee Break”, ranging from the CEO of a major commercial gaming company to the COO of a tribal gaming enterprise and the general counsel of a major gaming manufacturer. We’re adding new videos all the time, giving viewers a sampling of perspectives from every corner of our business.
I encourage everyone to visit the “Coffee Break” site to
check out the videos and gain from the expertise showcased there. It’s a
testament to the strength of the women in our business, and a one-of-a-kind
opportunity to get inside the heads of some of gaming’s brightest leaders.
If we can’t always meet face-to-face to get advice and insight
from one another, surely this is the next best thing. I hope this series will
inspire you like it does me. After all, it never hurts to get advice straight
from the top!
