The Beginning Of Something Special
One day, Malia Lym, a corporate trainer and speaker with an engineering background, was thinking about how she could be more proactive in her career as a professional speaker. As a member of Innovation Women, created and run by Bobbie Carlton, Malia thought about how Bobbie often encourages its members to create their own path for speaking success.
So, Malia decided to go for it. She reached out at an Innovation Women meeting asking if anyone would be interested in creating a panel that would specifically serve women in technology. It was her vision to create a diverse panel that could share their lived experiences and knowledge with other women who needed support.
After the very first meeting of interested panelists, they all realized something special was happening. Put 9 determined women who are experts in their individual fields into one room (digitally in this case) and amazing things will come to light.
A few weeks later, co-founder Anne Ryan was inspired by the dynamic panel and thought up an acronym and name that wholly symbolized the mission of their foundling organization: She Has Infinite Potential (SHIP). Since there was so much conversation around relationship, leadership, fellowship, mentorship, sponsorship, and allyship, everyone agreed the name was a perfect fit and SHIP was born.
SHIP’s other co-founder, Kristin Spencer brought her storytelling and tech resourcefulness in full force to help the group of applicants find one strong voice.
In a short time, the 9 women rallied together to produce a 5-Day Digital Summit. After forming powerful presentation pairs, each group decided on what topics to share and everyone got to work.
Then, in just one day, the panel created its LinkedIn page and the group was able to find 150 followers. The momentum of this panel started on an undeniable high.
Panelists started getting comments during their inaugural 5-day summit and messages from women tuning in from all over the United States and Canada. All of them centered on how the panel’s discussions were encouraging these attendees to go for their dreams. That’s when SHIP knew their goals were being realized.
