Great leaders put people first. We must never devalue people in the process of delivering a technical solution.
The most uncomfortable conference session ever
Giving feedback, discussing career goals, and facilitating (non-awkward) 1:1s are quite often dreaded tasks as a leader.
Time is on my side!
Time management + prioritization - everyone needs it! We all seem to face a never-ending list of demands coupled with a finite amount of time to get it all done.
Two and a half days with the people writing the playbook.
Insightful sessions, inspiring ideas, and meeting your peers — the skills and methods that take your organization to the next level.
