From YouTube: 2023 May Women Rise with Councilmember Poston
Description
Whether you're talking tech, healthcare - or even the game of golf - the stories of Chandler companies large and small are compelling, aspirational, and full of business and life lessons. Councilmember Jane Poston gives you a peek behind the curtain to meet some of the women who are making it happen.
A
I'm
councilmember
Jane
Poston
welcome
to
women
rise.
This
show
is
all
about
creating
connections
for
women
in
the
business
Community.
We
all
know
that
businesses
and
careers
are
built
on
relationships
and
I
hope
to
help
you
create
some
of
those
relationships
with
women
in
the
community
who
have
already
been
successful
in
their
profession.
I
am
going
to
introduce
you
to
some
trailblazing
women
and
give
some
of
our
younger
professionals
the
opportunity
to
ask
them
questions.
A
We
want
to
make
connections
with
our
newer
professionals
and
women
in
leadership
roles
so
that
every
woman
in
Chandler
knows
there
is
a
place
for
them
and
that
they
can
succeed
in
whatever
they
want
to
do
and
with
that
I
am
very
excited
to
introduce
you
to
my
next
guest.
It's
najwa
kazal.
She
is
with
Edwards,
which
is
a
new
Semiconductor
Company
in
Chandler
and
Nashville.
You
are
doing
amazing
things.
You
are
in
the
midst
of
building
a
200,
000
square
foot,
building
and
sitting
here,
you're
looking
calm.
A
C
Thank
you
very
much
for
having
me
here
really
really
appreciate
it,
and
so
yes,
I've
been
in
the
the
actual
semiconductor
I
cannot,
but
for
the
last
two
years,
I've
been
fully
focused
on
semiconductor
before
that
I
was
in
the
Aerospace
industry.
So
I
did
a
lot
of
that
and
then
did
a
different
kind
of
fields
in
engineering
as
well
and.
A
C
C
A
C
So
I,
you
know
I,
say
I'm
a
Visionary
leader
I
see
the
future
I
try
to
in
terms
of
what
do
we
plan
ahead
at
the
future
terms
of
where
we're
going
and
look
at
also
where
we're
at
today.
Those
are
two
things,
but
really
what
the
key
things
for
me
is
being
both
I,
say
fur
and
firm
and
fairies
is
I'm.
A
mom
and
I
do
lead
with
my
heart,
I
I
love
people
I.
You
know
I
want
to
continue
to
drive
and
improve
and
and
focus
on
people,
but
I.
C
Also
firm
is
the
accountability.
I
I
hold
myself
accountable,
so
I
work
with
my
team
and
we
have
top
talent,
team
members
right
now
and
leadership
team
in
my
organization.
So
it's
really
the
balance
between
being
fair
and
and
loving
people
and
caring
about
them
and
taking
care
of
them
and
also
being
firm,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
have
a
accountability
to
our
customers,
to
our
shareholders,
to
our
communities
as
well.
Absolutely.
A
C
Absolutely
I
think,
but
with
that
I
mean
it
develops
right,
it
develops
as
you
grow
you.
A
lot
of
time
were,
as
as
women
leaders
we
we
we're,
being
looked
at
to
always
be
firm
and
and
and
take
a
stand
and
be
decisive,
which
is
all
great,
really
great
things.
But
there
are
a
lot
of
good
things
about
us
as
women
that
it's
great
to
bring
in
into
the
leadership,
and
it
is,
it
is
caring
for
people.
It
is
leading
with
your
heart.
C
C
Yeah
absolutely
so
you
know,
I
started
my
career
as
a
quality
engineer
and
I
share
that
with
all
my
team,
I
say
you
know.
My
first
job
was
eight
dollars
an
hour
as
a
quality
engineer
in
a
clean
room,
environment
and,
and
that
was
just
right
out
of
college,
because
I
didn't
really
even
know
what
I
wanted
to
do.
I
was
a
graduated
with
mechanical
engineering.
It
was
computer,
science
was
booming
and
all
of
this,
so
it's
really
just
trying
to
figure
out
like
what
do
you
want?
C
C
C
C
So
we
wanted
to
be
part
of
the
community,
but
as
we
started
going
the
community,
we
we
learned
that
you
know
there
is
a
lot
of
diversity
that
we
you
know
that
we
need
to
be
engaged
in
in
understanding
where,
where
women
are
where
and
and
starting
right
from
the
high
school
level,
I
think
this
is
one
thing
that
I'm
really
passionate
about.
Is
we
just
don't
want
to
just
start
at
the
college
level
where
we
go
and
say
hey,
they
already
made
up
their
mind
right,
they
already
applied
for
college.
C
They
know
what
what
career
they
want
to
or
what
degree
they
want
to.
But
we
want
to
get
down
into
the
high
school
is
try
to
get
engaged
with.
Girls
rise
woman
rights,
I
call
them
girls
rights
because
that's
when
they're
making
those
decisions-
and
we
want
to
interest
them
in
the
semiconductor
industry-
we
want
to
interest
them
in
engineering.
We
want
to
interest
them
into
something
for
a
long
time.
It
was
a.
It
was
a
man
field
and
now
we're
saying
it's
open
for
everyone.
A
And
that
leads
me
to
my
next
question.
It's
something
I've
been
very
impressed
with
Edwards
about
is
that
you
have
a
very
robust
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
program,
and
it's
not
just
about
saying
the
words
it's
it's
very
common
in
businesses
these
days,
but
you've
actually
taken
some
serious
action
on
it.
Can
you
tell
me
a
little
about
that.
C
Yeah
I'm
very
proud
to
say
that
we
actually
for
the
channel
as
we're
going
we're
at
25
percent
female
and
we're
going
to
Target
the
30s
20
30.,
so
we're
really
just
on
the
right
on
the
right
track.
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
I
were
doing.
A
lot
is
training
our
leaders,
we're
not
just
looking
at
recruiting
women
in
into
the
field,
but
also
keeping
them
because
it
takes
a
it
takes
a
lot
to
make
that
commitment.
So
we
we're
training
our
leaders.
C
We
have
a
lot
of
focus
on
that,
but
we're
also
on
our
recruitment.
We
we
added,
even
though
we
have
a
requirements
of
two
years
or
three
years
or
whatever
we
put
on
all
of
our
job
application.
Women
are
encouraged
to
apply
and
we
take
that
seriously.
Every
application
that
we
get,
that
a
woman
is
interested.
We
just
don't
look
at
okay.
Is
she
qualified
for
the
job
we
look
at
it?
Is
she
committed
and
wanting
to
learn,
and
is
she,
of
course,
not
definitely
the
right
fit
for
the
culture,
but
then
everything
else?
C
C
My
aunt
was
the
first
graduate
with
physics
in
the
from
the
University,
oh,
my
goodness,
so
just
growing
up
you're
like
you
have
somebody
always
you
know
to
look
up
for
and
stuff
like
that,
but
you
know:
I've
had
great
sponsors,
I,
always
encourage
female
leaders
and
also
male
allies
to
become
sponsors,
not
just
mentors,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
when
we
do
sponsorship,
it's
not
just
we're
making
commitment
to
say:
hey
I
have
a
conversation.
I
guide
you
in
your
career,
we
actually
sponsor
someone
to
say:
hey.
C
C
Let's
say
business
controller
or
whatever
that
is,
is
start
contacting.
My
colleagues
and
said
I
have
an
employee
here,
I'm
sponsoring
this
talent
and
I'd
like
to
work
with
you
on
that
and
I
think
this
is
really
commitment.
Mentorship
I
enjoyed
it
I
had
a
lot
of
female
mentors.
They
taught
me
a
lot,
you
know,
but
I
always
say
I
am
who
I
am
today
because
of
the
male
allies
that
also
played
in
my
role
as
a.
D
A
C
A
C
D
C
Think
that
the
family,
the
home,
is,
is
a
big
influence
on
who
we
are
and
who
we
want
to
be
so
I'm
hoping
they
can
see.
They
can
see
the
career
path
that
I've
taken
they've,
seen
the
struggles
that
I've
I've
had
throughout
my
career
as
well,
and
they
can
take
that
and-
and
they
can
even
do
better
than
I've
done
as
well.
C
What
I
mean,
as
you
say,
you
know
in
engineering
just
just
being
a
not
having
them
that
many
colleagues
somebody
to
talk
to,
and
somebody
say
hey,
even
at
in
college.
You
know
two
to
three
to
30
and
40
students
and
when
I
started
so
just
to
share
that
you
know
I'm
having
a
challenge
like
how
do
I
deal
with
it.
That's
one
thing
two
is
in
in
an
industry
like
the
semiconductor
industry.
It's
a
it's
a
you
know.
C
At
their
confidence,
level
is
much
higher
than
ours,
and
then
what
and
that's
what
we
did?
It's
it's
hard.
It's
just
building
that
confident,
trusting
in
yourself
saying:
okay,
yes,
I'm
in
a
new
industry
or
a
new
field,
or
you
know,
moving
from
the
aerospace's
semiconductor,
it's
a
totally
different
field,
but
just
having
the
right
Partners
having
the
confidence
level
and
the
strength
and
just
to
ask
the
right
questions
and
again,
I
really
emphasize
having
the
right
allies.
A
And
I
love
that
you
mentioned
that,
because,
when
you
have
the
men
in
the
room
like
that,
they
can
certainly
be
helpful
to
making
maybe
some
of
those
newer
professionals
or
women
comfortable
in
those
spaces.
So
that's
absolutely
fantastic!
So
I'm
going
to
ask
you
a
little
bit
more
of
a
difficult
question,
because
you
know
when
people
watch
this
show
we
don't
we
didn't
get
to
where
we
are.
Women
didn't
get
to
your
position
with
out
a
few
bumps
in
the
road.
C
C
You
know
what
I'm
gonna
do
more
on
teaching
and
I
actually
give
three
months
notice
and
I
left
the
current
organization
that
I
won
and
I
did
it
for
my
family
and
sometimes
it
you
know
you
can
look
at
that
as
a
setback
from
your
career.
But
to
me
that
was
actually
the
right
decision
from
my
family
perspective
and
look
what
I'm
still
here.
You
know
I
didn't
even
set
me
back,
not
to
be
a
leader
and
a
GM
one
day.
A
A
C
I
I
would
say
if
I
learned
anything
in
engineering,
it's
problem
solving
and
we
as
moms
and
girls
and
sisters,
and
just
that
in
our
nature
we
love
to
problem
solve.
So
it's
a
great
career.
It's
it's
there's
a
lot
of
growth
in
it.
There's
also
I
I
went
after
my
MBA
I
worked
for
in
the
field
for
a
while
and
then
I
had
there
was
a
business
analytic
with
Harvard
Business,
School
and
I
I
learned
a
lot
more
about.
C
A
Awesome
and
I
know
you
like
working
with
young
women,
and
you
know
that's.
You
said
it's
a
passion
of
yours.
We
have
a
few
young
women
that
want
to
ask
you
some
questions,
because
we
are
trying
to
make
those
connections
between
the
new
professionals,
the
younger
women
and
people
who
maybe
have
a
little
more
experience
in
the
career.
If
someone
wanted
to
make
that
connection
with
you
or
any
other
mentor,
what
actions
would
you
want
that
person
to
take?
A
C
A
C
I
think
that's
the
one
question
a
lot
of
people
go
into
mentorship,
not
knowing
the
answer.
Well,
I'm,
not
too
sure
I'm
thinking
about
this.
So
before
you
choose
a
mentor,
know
what
you
want
at
least
an
idea
like
a
road
map,
right,
you
might
say:
okay,
I'm
I'm,
going
to
Florida
and
I
know
where
exactly
in
Florida.
But
please
just
have
that
idea
of
where
you
went
ahead
to
and
then
after
that
you
can
create
a
roadmap.
C
I
had
a
five-year
roadmap
and
I
always
when
people
used
to
say
what
what
is
your
five-year
and
I
was
like.
Oh
really,
why
are
you
you
know
I
learned
that
that
actually
was
great,
useful
tool
because
you
have
a
five-year
goal
and
then-
and
you
build
up
every
year
on
different
courses,
different
skills,
different,
even
different
mentors
in
every
stage
of
the
five
year
there
so
I'd
say
know
what
you
want
start
working
with
your
mentor
on
what
that
roadmap
is
and
then
start
measuring.
C
This
is
where
I
say
the
accountability
right
and
say:
okay,
you
can
pause
every
year
and
reflect
and
say:
okay
did
I
achieve
what
I
want.
Do
I
need
to
change
my
path
or
or
there
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
actually
I
knew
I
wanted
to
be
a
GM
I.
Had
a
five-year
roadmap
and
I
completed
that
in
four.
A
And
that's
not
saying
because
you
have
a
road
map
that
you
have
to
stick
to
it
exactly
you're,
going
to
take
a
left
turn
somewhere
or
have
a
little
rest
stop
here
to
spend
some
time
with
your
family,
which
I
absolutely
love.
Well,
we
have
some
questions
for
you
shortly
we're
going
to
go
to
our
next
segment.
If
you
can
stick
around
and
answer
those
questions,
I'd.
A
It
it's
no
secret
that
business
deals
are
made
on
the
golf
course
and
according
to
Forbes,
more
than
90
of
Fortune
500
CEOs
play
golf
and
get
this
about.
80
percent
of
them
say
that
it
helps
them
establish
new
business
relationships.
So
golf
is
an
important
part
of
business,
but
too
long
women
have
been
sitting
on
the
sidelines.
It
is
time
to
get
women
in
the
game.
I
want
to
introduce
you
to
char
Carson
out
at
Springfield,
Golf
Course,
who
is
doing
just
that
sure
has
made
it
a
point
to
educate
women
about
golf.
E
E
I
was
at
the
Nielsen
company
for
almost
19
years
and
for
two
years
of
my
last
tenure
there
I
had
a
poster
on
my
wall.
That
said,
start
your
career
in
golf
today
and
every
time
we
had
a
golf
outing
and
all
our
female
managers
and
Executives
would
miss
out
and
not
get
to
network
and
build
the
relationships.
I'm
like
wow
we've
got
to
find
a
way
to
help
women
get
in.
E
E
Right
for
sure,
I
started
a
golf
league
and
we
made
it
cross-functional
across
different
departments.
Our
productivity
went
up
faster
than
any
other
team
building
activity
you
can
imagine
and
I
just
got
inspired
in
2006
I
woke
up,
took
the
poster
off.
My
wall
walked
into
my
manager's
office
and
I
said
I'm
resigning.
He
goes
what
I
said
he
goes
well.
What
are
you
gonna
do
I
said:
well,
I'm,
going
to
move
to
Arizona
I'm,
going
to
go
to
The
Golf
Academy,
learn
how
to
become
an
instructor
and
help
women
get
into
the
game
and.
E
Think
women
have
we're
a
little
self-conscious,
starting
something
new,
especially
as
an
adult
when
women
know
how
they
need
to
behave.
Their
confidence
goes
way
up,
and
so
this
golf
101
program
is
all
about
teaching
anywhere
from
what
to
wear
when
to
show
up
how
to
go
shopping
for
it,
how
to
behave
out
there
how
to
play
fast
and
keep
up
it
just
builds
your
confidence
from
day
one
and
in
six
weeks
in
the
golf
101
program
week,
five
we're
out
on
the
golf
golf
course
plane.
E
E
It
is
yep,
so
this
is
our
seventh
season.
We
called
it
business
golf
101
and
we
do
business
call
102
in
the
fall
and
about
three
years
ago
some
of
the
male
MBA
students
said
you
know
what
we
need
to
learn.
The
golfer
business
too
I
had
to
think
about
it
because
it
was
originally
for
women.
Then
I
started
thinking,
you
know
when
they
get
into
the
workplace.
Men
and
women
are
going
to
play
together.
E
If
these
guys
are
learning
from
the
get-go,
how
fun
it
is
to
play
with
women,
what
a
win-win
for
everybody
and
we're
finding
in
our
programs
today
that
men
are
so
supportive
of
the
women,
because
they're
brand
new
learning.
At
the
same
time
the
women
are-
and
it's
vice
versa.
It's
really
a
neat
Dynamic,
that's
fantastic.
E
E
E
So,
yes,
they
can
do
it
doesn't
matter
if
you
don't
have
a
lot
of
athletic
experience,
golsa
a
fascinating
game
in
the
course
of
just
one
hole,
you're
going
to
get
excited
and
devastated
all
in
the
course
of
300
yards
and
I
would
say,
one
of
the
biggest
things
in
life
consequences
can
be
a
lot
of
things
right
and
golf
think
about
our
worst
consequence.
We
hit
it,
we
gotta
find
it
and
hit
it
again.
E
A
E
A
little
sort
of
I
did
not
grow
up
playing
golf,
so
I
started
as
an
adult,
so
I
completely
appreciate
starting
getting
into
the
game
as
an
adult,
not
not
as
a
child.
220
2018
was
the
first
ever
senior
Women's
U.S
open
and
the
men's
Senior
Open
has
been
going
on
over
40
years.
I
think
so.
I
flew
to
Wheaton
Illinois
to
see
what
it
was
all
about.
Like
and
I
was
inspired.
E
I
said:
what's
it
going
to
take
to
qualify
to
do
that
and
in
2019
I
trained
to
to
go
and
qualify,
I
ended
up
as
a
second
alternate
I'm
like
okay,
great
great
learning,
2020
was
covid.
You
know
the
world
changed
kind
of
shut
down
for
a
year
and
in
2021
I
said
I'm
going
to
give
it
another
go
and
I
actually
qualified
and
went
and
played
in
the
senior
Women's
U.S
open,
which
was
a
phenomenal
experience.
E
The
USGA
all
the
sponsors
everything
it's
an
experience,
like
no
other,
and
to
be
next
to
a
lot
of
those
famous
Hall
of
Fame
World
Hall
of
Fame
tour
players
and
learn
from
them.
It
was
inspiring
and
part
of
what
what
gave
me
that
go
was
not
only
Cena
wanted
to
do
it
I'm
an
athlete
from
other
sports,
but
it's
making
me
a
better
teacher,
a
better
coach
for
my
juniors,
better
coach
for
my
players.
Anybody
that
wants
to
compete,
I
know
what
it
takes
to
train.
You.
E
A
E
A
Game
well,
Char.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
being
here,
I
really
appreciate
it.
So
Char
absolutely
knows
her
stuff,
but
we
could
not
leave
the
golf
course
without
talking
to
a
couple
of
her
students
who
are
figuring
out
how
to
make
golf
part
of
their
business
strategy
I'm
with
Jessica
and
Marissa,
and
they
are
two
MBA
students
and
they
both
take
lessons
with
Char
and
so
I
want
to
know.
Why
do
you
think
it
is
so
important
for
women
to
golf.
B
I
think
it's
important
because,
especially
in
the
Working
World,
you
know
in
corporations
there's
so
many
golf
outings
and
it's
very
male
dominated
and
guys
are
very
comfortable
going
out
on
the
golf
course
you
know,
even
if
they
hit
a
bad
shot,
they
joke
and
laugh
it
off.
But
if
it's
very
different
for
women,
maybe
they
haven't
been
playing,
they
don't
want
to.
F
I
think
so,
I
think
if
they're
not
golfing,
they're
missing
the
opportunity
to
walk
through
doors
that
golf
can
open
for
them,
especially
here
in
Arizona,
where
it's
so
popular
with
the
courses
we
have
here
in
the
tournaments.
It's
it
really
gives
you
an
upper
hand
when
you
can
talk
golf
or
play
golf
with
your
colleagues.
Do.
B
A
F
What
do
you
think
yeah
I
mean
our
first
day
out
here?
Char
teaches
us
about
etiquette
and
says
that
could
make
or
break
a
business
relationship
if
you're
late
to
a
tea
time.
If
you
walk
in
front
of
their
butt,
it's
all
really
important
to
how
you
portray
yourself
and
your
character,
but
also
it's.
It
translates
a
lot
into
the
office
and
that
all
starts
on
the
golf
course
do.
B
If
you're
not
comfortable,
you're
not
going
to
want
to
even
go
play
in
the
first
place,
but
if
you
have
that
level
of
confidence,
you'll
know
that
you
know,
maybe
you
might
not
hit
the
best
shot,
but
for
the
next
one
or
the
next
one
you'll
hit
a
good
shot.
If
you
keep,
you
know
practicing
and
like
Marissa
said:
Char
is
amazing
at
you
know,
teaching
all
the
different
tips
and
tricks
it
doesn't
matter
if
you're,
the
best
or
you've
only
started.
A
B
Well,
in
the
past,
I
actually
personally
had
so
many
opportunities
to
go
out
on
the
course
during
different
outings.
That
I
always
said
no
to
I.
Just
wasn't
confident
and
now.
I
know
that
going
forward,
it'll
come
up
again,
obviously
and
I'm
not
going
to
say
no
I'm
going
to
actually
say
yes
and
be
part
of
these
outings
and
build
those
relationships
like
we
talked
about
something
I'm,
definitely
going
to
be
using
with
me
in
my
career.
F
F
A
Will
see
you
both?
Thank
you
so
much
for
doing
this
interview
and
I
appreciate
you
being
here
and
we'll
see
you
out
there
well
and
I.
Think
there's
proof
that
business
doesn't
always
have
to
be
completely
serious.
It
can
be
done
on
the
golf
course
as
well,
so
those
were
some
amazing
young
women
that
are
in
college,
but
now
we
have
some
high
school
students
that
wanted
to
ask
you
some
questions.
So,
let's
watch.
C
Had
an
answer
for
that
yeah
absolutely
I
mean
it's
hard
to
to
it's.
Not
it's
not
that
easy,
but
I
think
it's.
It
means
different
to
different
people
and
I'd
say
like
mine
has
been
you
know:
I
work,
a
lot
I
enjoy
working,
I
enjoy
being
you
know
in
the
field,
but
at
the
same
time
I
would
be
like
Monday
through
Friday.
Do
all
the
work,
but
then
I
when
I
get
home,
5
30
I
shut,
my
computer
off
I,
do
the
mommy
thing,
the
wife
thing
and
then
by
nine
o'clock.
C
Ten
o'clock
after
the
kids
they'll
go
to
bed
I
turn
my
computer
on.
So
that
was
you
know
it
just
being
present
fully
present
when
you're
actually
present
after
5
30.
and
then
right
now.
It's
actually,
you
know
I
work
Monday
through
Friday,
but
then
Saturday
and
Sunday.
It's
me
time.
It's
it's
time
where
you
shut
off.
You
keep
checking
you
make
sure
that
you
know
everything's
okay,
but
you
also
set
an
example
for
your
employees.
Is
that
really
on
a
these?
Are
the
days
that
I'm
taking
off?
C
This
is
the
days
that
I'm
working
and
I
just
came
back
from
vacation,
so
even
with
all
the
200
000
square
foot
building
and
everything
else,
it
was
good
time
for
to
that's
the
work-life
balance,
right
the
life
of
just
taking
a
break
enjoying
and
then
you'll
get
right
back
at
it.
So
for
each
one
is
different,
it's
whatever
whatever
makes
sense,
but
at
the
same
time
you
need
to
have
time,
for
you,
that's
the
number
one
thing,
and
then
you
have
to
have
time
for
your
family.
A
I
really
like
something
that
you
said
and
I
wanted
to
just
kind
of
emphasize
that
a
little
bit
because
you're
in
a
leadership
role
to
both
men
and
women,
I,
don't
think
men
get
asked
that
question
very
often
in
terms
of
that
work-life
balance.
But
the
fact
that
you
are
setting
an
example
not
just
for
your
family,
that
this
is
an
example
for
your
employees
as
well,
that
that's
important
that
life
isn't
all
about
the
work
that
and
being
present
completely.
Yes,
absolutely
so.
I.
D
C
Just
don't
be
afraid,
just
explore,
you
know,
especially
when
you're
young,
you
know,
I
I
went
I,
knew
I
wanted
to
be
a
mechanical
engineer,
but
I.
If
I
would
go
back
and
I
say:
I
should
have
explored
all
the
different
engineering
just
to
see
hey,
maybe
there's
something
else.
So
I
always
say
just
just
be
furious,
be,
and
you
know
get
up
every
time
that
you
think
that
you
didn't
do
something
right
or
that
you
know.
F
A
C
A
You
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
being
here
and
I
can't
wait
to
keep
seeing
what
you're
going
to
be
doing
here
in
Chandler,
for
our
community
you've
already
got
off
to
a
great
start.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
today,
I'm

Poston.
