Session: Unleash the Power of Endless Learning
Peter Drucker, known as the "man who invented management," once said, "We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn." As a female tech leader, the concept of endless learning is something I deeply believe in - and also something I see as absolutely crucial for personal and professional growth. Let me tell you about what it means to commit to endless learning, the steps required to make it a reality, and the positive effects it can have on one's career - especially as a woman in tech.
