Facilitating innovation and leadership for tech leaders one conversation, one leader, one organization at a time is my passion, my mission, my cause through my work at FountainBlue. We take pride in bringing together innovators and leaders in the online events we conduct, including our When She Speaks series, the executive coaching we provide, the leadership consulting we practice, and the strategic advising we conduct. – Linda Holroyd, Founder and CEO, FountainBlue
Launched in Silicon Valley in May 2006, FountainBlue’s monthly When She Speaks panel discussions feature senior women leaders from partner tech companies speaking on leadership and innovation topics. Our interactive conversations are known for being inspiring, educational, practical and fun. Our monthly programs have shifted to an online format in response to the pandemic, so we can better manage content and to provide broader access to a more distributed customer base.
Although we don’t record any of our online meetings (so that all can feel more comfortable speaking freely), we do take notes and distribute them to our attendees and partners. Notes from our prior When She Speaks meetings are freely available at https://fountainblue.substack.com/s/when-she-speaks
FountainBlue’s When She Speaks, Women in Leadership Series
Thursday, March 14, 11:50 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Manage Your Mindset
Online access details are available to confirmed attendees.
One of the greatest lessons of these tumultuous pandemic-laden years is that Life happens, and generally NOT according to plan!
But we’ve all witnessed the different responses to similar circumstances, and recognize the value of a growth-minded, positive and constructive mindset.
Our panelists this month will share their stories and best practices on how their mindset – how positive, productive, and responsive they were to their own circumstances – supported themselves and others they touched. Learn how having a more resilient and agile mindset will help us all navigate the next ‘normal’, no matter what that looks, feels, smells, tastes and sounds like.

Testimonials:
FountainBlue does all of the above and more – every time, all the time.
Linda Holroyd and the panelists each month speak to me directly. They are humble and powerful at the same time.
I LOVE these panel discussions because they are so thought provoking and there is always something tangible I can take away.
The breadth of perspectives gathered is inspiring – it makes me feel like ‘I Can Too!’ or at least ‘I Can DARE to TRY!’
I’m proud to have been a member for almost two decades, and look forward to the next lesson, the next conversation each month.
I’m grateful to be exposed to people who are not-like-me, as they help me become a better version of myself.
If you ever need to think outside your own box, join one of FountainBlue’s programs. I always learn something unexpected in a good way.
I attend a LOT of trainings and programs, but I consistently participate in these programs because the discussions are so well facilitated and the panelists are so diverse, passionate, and knowledgeable.
I appreciate the practical advice, tools, and learnings shared at each program.
I’m a busy person, but I’m always glad I make the time to join these informative, thought-provoking sessions.
It’s easy to make the business case for joining FountainBlue as a corporate partner. My staff remains productive, committed, inspired and engaged.
As Linda says every month, the vector is not gender. The vectors are LEADERSHIP and INNOVATION. And she proves that every month.
Join this month’s session, and experience the series for yourself.
