This workshop is designed to help new and emerging tech leaders understand their role and gain the skills to make them confident, happy and effective leaders.

Why it matters

Transitioning to your first leadership position is hugely challenging, especially in the fast-paced tech industry. To make matters worse, most leaders receive no training to prepare them for their new responsibilities in their first 10 years in leadership!

Principal & Staff Engineers: Learn to build strong relationships and trust to lead. Influence and set the technical direction for your teams, and nurture team talent through mentoring and knowledge sharing.

Engineering Managers: Learn to delegate work and empower others, influence stakeholders whilst balancing strategic business and engineering objectives, and effectively guide your team towards a shared vision and goal.

What will I gain?

Participants walk away with a rich repository of knowledge, tips, worksheets and practical strategies to embark on their leadership journey.
