Session: Give yourself permission to lead
Women, especially in technical fields where they might be "the only", hold back on leadership opportunities. They may discredit themselves before anyone else has a chance too. However, in today's technical industries, good leadership goes beyond technical skills and needs more soft skills which may not get the same importance. This presentation takes a look at the skills that future leaders need, how to recognize them, develop them and then set yourself on the path to career progression.
