Meg Murphy shared thisWhat she said💪Meg Murphy shared thisWhat is one thing that you would like women to stop apologizing for? 🤔 We asked attendees at the Milken Institute Global Conference, and the pattern was impossible to ignore. Women are still saying sorry for speaking up, for asking questions, for having opinions, and even for simply taking up space. It’s become second nature, a way to soften presence before it’s fully expressed. But that habit comes at a cost, because every unnecessary apology chips away at confidence and credibility. It’s time to drop the “sorry” and own the space instead! #TakeItToTheStreets

Meg Murphy shared thisSharing this again for Earth Day 2026—and a perspective I try to keep in mind: “progress is progress, no matter how small.” I’m doubling down on a few practical shifts to reduce waste and be more intentional about everyday choices. For my family, that means reducing single-use plastics (bottled water and takeout packaging—I now bring my own) and passing along items we no longer need through donations and local reuse. What’s one small change you’ve made or want to make next? 🌍 Sharing my Earth Day post from last year below👇 https://lnkd.in/gX6_RTaQ #EarthDay2026 #OurPowerOurPlanet #ClimateAction #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #PlasticBank #SmallChangesBigImpact #ActOnClimate

Meg Murphy shared thisMeg Murphy shared thisEvents friends! We’re hiring a Senior Events Manager at Limble, and I’m excited to share it. After 90-days in seat, I've been delighted with how our marketing team moves with clarity, shares honest feedback, and supports each other. Our team, and Limble as a whole, is a group that shows up, and it makes the work feel steady and human. If you’re in B2B SaaS, or you know someone who is, this role is a chance to shape the events that introduce people to the product and the people behind it. The work touches partners, customers, and prospects, and you’ll have room to build with a team that listens and trusts your expertise. If someone comes to mind, feel free to send this their way!

Meg Murphy shared thisEven as AI grows, giving remains uniquely human. It begins when we choose to care and show up for each other. #giving #community #leadershipMeg Murphy shared thisWhether you’re a senior leader, or starting out in your career, young at heart or young in life, giving back is a powerful act that can potentially help boost your overall happiness & well-being, reduce stress, and contribute to a greater sense of purpose and self-esteem, and in some cases, improve your physical health and build social connections at work & in your communities. 💜 Some of my fondest memories are from giving back, whether it was the opportunity to collaborate in developing and implementing some of our yearly Career Days at IBM in Austin, volunteering on committees to determine ways to retain and grow talent and morale, way back to memories as a young child riding with my Dad in his old station wagon as we delivered turkeys & hams to local families during the holidays — and the feeling of receiving the gift of giving in one of life’s hardest times, such as those who gifted meals to us during the 5-month long stint in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) years ago. Giving back, doesn’t always have to involve directly donating money (however, that usually helps)… How can you give back at work and in your community: 🌟 Mentorship - Whether you’re entry, mid-level, or the CMO/CSO/CFO/CEO, you can learn something from one another. Explore how can you help each other. They may even one day become your sponsor or boss. You can also mentor a child/teen in your community through various programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. 🌟 Volunteer... Your Skills - Lend your skills for a community project or for a stretch work opportunity. It allows extended networks to become familiar with your skills. 🌟 Your Gifts - Have you ever been complemented repeatedly on something you’ve created or done? Maybe you’re a talented speaker, thinker, writer, problem solver, AI engineer, fixer, creator, narrator, event-planner, connector, people-person — explore how you can share your gifts with others (*Remember to hold space & boundaries for yourself here, especially if you tend to be an overly sacrificial giver). 🌟 Your Presence - Try a conversation shared over a walk, a coffee, meal, or even over the phone or zoom. Or create a fun little gathering for some of your social or professional peers. Read with/to children for an hour each month. Or spend time with those at your local assisted living center. 🌟 Your Physical Energy & Creativity - You can volunteer to clean up your local favorite park or roadway, serve on a local committee, or build/paint a house or mural (ie: Habitat for Humanity), or regularly drive meals to families (ie: Meals on Wheels America). 🌟 Sponsorship - (In Community) Sponsor a family for the holidays. (Local Turkey & Ham Drives) (At Work) Who could you sponsor at work or in your network? 🌟 Donate — Food, Clothing, Books, Blankets, & the Above. Do you remember a positive memory of giving back?

Meg Murphy shared thisHonoring Juneteenth Through the Legacy of Black Women in Texas Juneteenth marks the day—June 19, 1865—when the last enslaved people in Texas learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It’s a day rooted in delayed justice, but also enduring hope. When I pass through the Austin airport, I often stop at the statue of Barbara Jordan. The tribute is impossible to miss—towering, commanding, and moving. Jordan, the first Black woman elected to the Texas Senate and the first elected to Congress from a southern state. She made her mark as a powerful voice for civil rights and the Constitution—as a critical check on executive overreach during President Richard Nixon’s impeachment hearings. Her legacy reminds us that real leadership is grounded in dignity, clarity, and courage. This year, I’m also thinking of Opal Lee—the “Grandmother of Juneteenth”—a retired teacher and activist, who at the age of 89, walked in a series of marches from Texas to Washington, D.C., and helped make this day a national holiday. Inspired by their legacy, I’m taking action in my own community—starting with helping register new voters. Small acts still carry power. What matters is that we keep moving forward, together. #Juneteenth #Leadership #CivicEngagement #Texas #RepresentationMatters #VotingRights #BlackHistory

Meg Murphy shared thisAnd on this day 114 years ago, the “IBMer” was also created.💪🎉 I’ve always loved this quote from brand and storyteller legend, Jon Iwata, “IBM’s greatest invention is the IBMer.” #truth For more about IBM, checkout a fun, fact-filled post by Jeremy Connell-Waite. #IBM #IBMer #tech #leaderMeg Murphy shared this114 years ago today IBM was founded. 💙 It was on this day in 1911 that four companies merged to become the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company headquartered in Endicott, New York. It didn’t go well. CTR sold an eclectic range of scales, time clocks and tabulating machines. CTR achieved no economies of scale, no market advantages of trust, and the leaders of the merged companies either ignored or antagonised each other. A 37-year old salesman called Thomas J. Watson was one of the leaders of CTR. He noticed that American industries were growing so fast that they were drowning in their own paperwork, and they had to find ways to automate their record keeping and accounting. Despite CTR already being $4M in debt, Watson persuaded the bank to “bet on his future” and give him a loan of $40,000 for research & development. “Focus on developing computing equipment for industry. Stop selling meat slicers and weighing scales to butchers.” Watson called on “industrial artists” within the company to help him reinvent CTR. He negotiated “a gentleman’s salary and a percentage of the profits”. 13 years later on March 5th, 1924, CTR changed it’s name to IBM - creating what is today the world’s oldest and most storied computing company. When Watson died in 1956, IBM's revenues were $897 million (about $10Bn in today’s money) and the company had 72,500 employees. IBM still spends a significant percentage of its revenue on R&D - and it's still focused on helping businesses to find new ways of automating old processes. Today, IBM refers to those “industrial artists” as “Wild Ducks”. “The Wild Ducks are the creative ones. They’re the restless explorers always looking for a new angle on a big problem.” - Thomas J. Watson Jr. 🦆 💙 Happy birthday Big Blue! 🎂

Meg Murphy liked thisI can’t wait to close my tabs to recharge this weekend! It’s not negotiable 🤷🏽♀️Meg Murphy liked thisIt’s Friday everyone. Please make sure you close down all the open tabs in your mind before the weekend. Put it number one on your to-do list today. Actually throw away your to-do lists they are just bad for you anyway. One of the hardest self-care tips I find hard to follow, is completely switching off from work for a decent period. The weekend or whatever time we get off is the most valuable tool in our self care toolkit. It is the only thing where doing absolutely nothing is all it takes to have a positive impact on your well-being, stress levels and mental health. It doesn’t matter what you do, just find a way to switch off your work mode completely so you come back to work refreshed and firing on all cylinders. You might spend time with the family, do exercise, read a book or watch a movie. It doesn’t have to be self righteously good either, sit and eat a tub of ice cream and binge Netflix or play PS5 all day and that works just fine. The key is to give your mind a break from the pressures of the work week, so anything that switches that off is perfect for you. But most importantly resist the urge to catch up on emails. Have a great Friday and a great weekend everybody.

Meg Murphy reacted on thisMeg Murphy reacted on thisYesterday, The City of Austin honored my parents posthumously with a Proclamation recognizing their lifelong contributions to the Chicano community in Austin and Central Texas. They devoted their lives to the cause and were influential to many. As I shared in a tribute last year, my parents shaped every part of who I am - personally and professionally. My values, work ethic and leadership style all come from watching them lead with courage, humility, and purpose. Their legacy is the foundation of my career and the reason I believe so strongly in opening doors for others. Thank you to Mayor Pro Tem Chito Vela for this incredible honor. His family's friendship with mine makes this recognition especially meaningful.

Meg Murphy reacted on thisMeg Murphy reacted on thisRecently I lost my best friend. She suffered from a progressive autoimmune disease for which there is no cure, but she was hopeful that she would somehow beat the odds. And in many ways she did. ❤️ The loss was deeply personal and devastating to me in so many ways. She was the person I could count on for brutal honesty and unconditional support both at the same time. I always knew her intentions were pure. I’m not sure my life will ever be the same without her. Watching her and spending time with her during her last days on earth taught me something. Something I did not think I needed to learn. It’s funny how even in her death, she was sharing her wisdom. She was in the ICU for 96 days. I talked to her almost daily. I visited less than I should have. Cooked some of her favorites and brought her things she probably shouldn’t have had. ☺️ In her very last days I was able to be there. Fully present and attentive. Looking back, I realize that if I had been working during that 96 days, I would have almost assuredly been absent. Sure, I would have made time for a daily call and a weekend visit, but I would have also been checking my phone for emails and text messages, thinking about the next thing on my to do list, planning my next business trip or handling the latest crisis. People often ask how I managed to have it all. A husband, a career and a family. My response is always the same. “You can have it all, but not at the same time.” I truly believe that. The lesson in my friend’s passing is this…. as hard as we try to balance or integrate work and life, we are never really successful. Yes, we manage the calendar and show up for the important moments - but is that really balancing? I used to share tips on integrating work and life with women I mentor. I tricked myself into thinking I was good at it and maybe I was, by some standard, but my perspective has changed. My truth is … success came at a price. Don’t get me wrong, I have no regrets. My success made the life I have possible. The question I encourage folks to ask themselves at least once a year is … “do the benefits outweigh the cost?”It’s a scary question. I decided only after a month of contemplation and a retirement notice of nearly a year that it was time for me to hang up the cleats. I had an amazing career. I raised three boys and managed to stay happily married through it all 🤣. I cooked Sunday dinners and showed up for the important moments, but I also missed some of the more meaningful ones. People don’t call when they think you are busy with work, the kids don’t share their most intimate struggles when you are half way around the world on a business trip, your best friend doesn’t call to say they need you when they know you are in a leadership team meeting. It was a blessing to be able to be at my best friend’s bedside when she took her last breath. I’m grateful for God’s timing. Continuing to share my retirement reflections on day 203 ❤️.

Meg Murphy liked thisMeg Murphy liked thisI completed 15 years at IBM on the 18th of July. 9 roles. 3 kinds of profiles. One company. I sat with that number over a weekend full of memories: my 30-year school reunion with friends I've known for 35 years, and a great football World Cup final, trying to figure out what it actually means. Because 15 years isn't a career milestone. It's a very specific kind of proof. Proof that a company took a chance on me nine different times when they didn't have to. And that each time, they trusted me with a version of the job that was bigger, harder, or further from what I already knew than the one before. Here's what that actually looked like. The first 4 were about learning what demand generation looked like at scale. Technology in India. Social and mobile. The infrastructure era. I was a marketing person doing marketing work in a marketing role. The playbook was familiar. The scale was not. The next 7 were about learning what happens when you cross into terrain nobody's mapped yet. Cloud in APAC in 2016 — the first-of-its-kind integrated digital demand team, built from a blank page. Performance marketing for services. Global campaign leadership for blockchain and B2B collaboration through a pandemic. Special projects that quietly became IBM's new Demand Engine. Demand strategy for software across JAPAC. Still a marketing person, but the job was pattern recognition across systems that had no precedent. The last 2 have been different and the most important. In 2024, I crossed from marketing into sales. Revenue ownership. eCommerce as the channel. watsonx and cloud as the mandate. The move most marketing leaders never make, and the one I'd quietly been preparing for over a decade without giving myself permission to name it. 3 kinds of profiles across 15 years. Marketing operator. Marketing strategist. Revenue owner. None of the transitions felt safe in the moment. Every one of them felt like the natural next step in hindsight. Here's the thing I want to say most clearly today. I didn't build this career. The people around me did. The managers who saw something in me before I could see it. The peers who covered for me in the seasons I was struggling. The senior leaders who used my name in rooms I wasn't in. The teams who executed brilliantly on ideas I could only sketch. The customers and partners who taught me what my work actually meant on the other side of the transaction. 15 years in. 9 roles. 3 profiles. Still learning. Still finding the next step interesting enough to take. If you're early in a long stretch at one company, or thinking about whether you should stay long enough to become a version of yourself you haven't met yet, here's what I'd tell you. The company doesn't define the career. The transitions inside it do. Stay long enough to keep changing, and one company can hold more than one lifetime of growth. What's a role or a chapter that changed you in ways you didn't expect at the time?

Meg Murphy reacted on thisMeg Murphy reacted on thisThis article (while depressing) is worth a read..... "What stood out in our study was that men and women held starkly different views. Male executives attributed it to the demands of operational roles’ interference with flexibility that parents of young children may desire. Female executives, examining the same pattern, pointed to something different. They felt that assumptions were applied before women were ever asked. As one executive stated directly, “We don’t ask the woman whether she is interested; we simply assume she is not.” If you're building a slate make sure you have a qualified woman on the list of people you ask, even the one with a toddler at home, even the one you assume is "not in a season" for it. Let her make the call. https://lnkd.in/gphGwzjEWhat 60 Years of Data Reveals About How Men and Women Experience LeadershipWhat 60 Years of Data Reveals About How Men and Women Experience Leadership
