💫 The Quiet Innovator: An Introvert’s Path to Communication Mastery
🔈 Ilinca Parlog, Product Manager
💎 Navigating the challenges of communication in a fast-paced, high-energy product and tech environment when you are an introvert is not for the faint of heart. Join me to hear about my personal journey and discover how a creative, introspective mind can leverage their quiet nature as a powerful tool for effective communication and innovation, whether in the classroom or the workplace.
In this talk, I’ll share:
- A definition of introversion and hypersensitivity and common challenges and misconceptions
- How expressing yourself in the community and the classroom can prepare you to communicate professionally
- Strategies for harnessing the power of introversion to improve communication skills and master the key competencies of a product manager
- Lessons on the power of quiet leadership and continuous learning on career and personal growth
💫 Communicating in a Stretch Role: Empowering Yourself and Learning on the Job
🔈 Kasi Schulz, Senior Manager, People Operations
💎 What do you do when you get a new role that you actually feel underqualified for? In 2020, I took on a new role that put me in my former company’s highest-level leadership group and gave me primary responsibility for handling difficult HR-related situations. During the talk, I’ll share what I’ve learned:
- How I ended up in the stretch role
- How it played out and what I learned
- Leadership: key communication learnings and a mindset shift
- High-level HR responsibility: key communication learnings and an expanding repertoire
- The importance of trusted supporters and role models who model effective feedback and communication behaviors
Together, we’ll brainstorm ways you can empower yourself and others through communication.
💫 Adapt to Lead: Communication and Inclusive Tech Leadership in Diverse Cultures
🔈 Daniela Lika, IT Manager, Europe
💎 In this presentation, I’ll tell you about my personal journey through the IT landscape, starting in Greece, moving to Canada, and then to Germany. I’ll share experiences of encountering diverse leadership styles, from direct approaches to those that foster autonomy, and the importance of effective communication. During my presentation, I’ll:
- Talk about techniques for adapting and the tools a leader should have to strengthen and increase team members’ confidence
