The fab @TheLeadDev team are putting on another #LeadDevLive for FREE to help the community.
And from Sep 1 we also are offering an excellent paid 7-part series #LeadDevTogether, specially designed for you to attend with your team/peers/fellow leaders together.leaddev.com/faqs
I’m very excited to be a session host for #LeadDevTogether including *finally* getting to give a talk I’ve had percolating about a career framework for technical leaders for years... and SUPER excited that the brilliant @anjuan is the overall series host together.leaddev.com
If you already had a ticket for one of our in-person conferences this year, there’s a quick & easy process to switch to a ticket for #LeadDevTogether — and you get an extra ticket for a friend/peer/colleague as well, for free! Details at together.leaddev.com/faqs

Latest in the “moving into tech leadership and/or management” subtheme here today at #LeadDevSanFrancisco is “Becoming a Manager Somewhere Else” from @mybluewristband
“Not all the advice provided in this talk will definitely work for you, as it’s my own story”
Jenn’s Career Trajectory:
- civil engineer
- mechanical engineer
- structural engineer
- customer support (to get foot in the door of tech)
- web developer (~5 years)
- software engineer (again. Another 3 yrs)
- moving towards management
“Three Things to Look for in the Person:
[0) Care about people (non-neg) ] 1) Doubts (filter out power hungry) 2) Growth mindset (highly competent at engineering —> highly incompetent at managing) 3) Courage to be disliked (recognition changes)
“Inclusion is a foundation for setting and creating a level playing field for people to be given opportunities to succeed. Inclusion has to presume competence.”
I love the @TheLeadDev crowd so much. They just gave @carlaprvieira applause and whooping for explaining it’s her first time in the US and her first international conference talk here at #LeadDevSanFrancisco 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖
