MY TALKS
Taking the Drama Out of the Postmortem: How to Use Failures as a Growth Opportunity
Software Engineering, Soft Skills, Professional Development, Women in Tech, Inspirational
The word “postmortem” oftentimes evokes fear and discomfort among engineers, and not just because of its unpleasant connotations from the world of anatomy. Discussing failures and accepting blame is uncomfortable in the healthiest of organizations. Add some office politics or dysfunctional teamwork into the mix, and each postmortem becomes a powder keg waiting to explode.
Yet if you ask those same engineers who dread postmortems how instrumental failure is to eventual success, most will agree that you must be willing to fail in order to truly succeed. They’ll also tell you that successes are usually iterative, built upon a foundation of mistakes. And yes, they’ll recognize the importance of productively discussing failure in order to learn from it.
This talk will provide engineers with a framework for drama-free postmortems that defuse intra-team tensions and maximize the effectiveness of extracting valuable insights from every such event. You’ll learn to mitigate potential pitfall

Software Engineering, Soft Skills, Professional Development, General, Inspirational
How often do you look up to someone professionally and try to imitate their strengths—working on what you perceive as weaknesses in fields in which your “work hero” excels? A frustrating experience, isn’t it?
Overcoming one’s weaknesses to become great at something makes for a great story, but if it’s professional development you’re looking for and not catharsis, working very hard to mimic someone else’s experience might not be the best path for you.
In this session, we’ll understand why taking advantage of our strengths makes more sense, leads to better professional outcomes, and most importantly, generates more satisfaction and happiness from our achievements. We will also learn how to adjust our internal growth plan to amplify our strengths while reducing the impact of our weaknesses.

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that having a good team increases your chances of building a good product. Let’s say you’ve taken care of hiring and are facing the challenge of maximizing your employees’ potential. But how do you make sure they grow professionally as individuals, become better as a team, enjoy their job and end up delivering a stellar product?
In this session, we’ll learn how to build successful teams by amplifying the strengths of each team member and reducing the impact of their weaknesses. We will discuss the importance of a development growth plan and how to build it using the employee strengths as a foundation.
Managing Change in Turbulent Times: Strategies for Effective Leadership
Software Engineering, Leadership, Professional Development, General
Leading a change in a group or organization is a complex task that requires strategic planning, effective communication, and strong leadership skills. Whether the change is a result of external factors such as market conditions or internal decisions such as restructuring or layoffs, it can create uncertainty, resistance, and challenges for both leaders and team members.
In this talk, we will explore the key elements of successful change, including the importance of creating a vision and strategy, building a change-ready culture, engaging and empowering team members, and managing resistance and challenges. We will also discuss practical strategies for communicating change, building trust and resilience, and measuring progress and outcomes.
By the end of this talk, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of leading change, and be equipped with practical tools and insights to navigate their next organizational transition with confidence and success.
