Session: Learning to Ask with The Adventures of Women in Tech - A Hands-On Workshop
Based on a section from the upcoming The Adventures of Women in Tech workbook, this session is a live workshop focusing on the first steps to getting comfortable asking for what we want and what we need. We will work through a live exercise figuring out how we can take up space and identify safe experiments. We will also take Q&A on the common instances when this can be difficult, e.g. promotions, salary increases.
