This workshop assists new/emerging tech leaders to understand their roles and gain the skills to make them confident, happy and effective
About this Event

Transitioning from an individual contributor role to a leadership position, especially in the fast-paced tech industry, is hugely challenging. Most new leaders don't receive any training at all in the first 10 years of their new responsibilities.

Our comprehensive workshop is designed to assist new and emerging tech leaders in understanding their new roles and gaining the skills to make them confident, happy and effective leaders.


Workshop Overview

Less stress, more confidence: Focus on what you need to do by learning how to build trust and relationships, delegate work, empower others, and influence stakeholders whilst balancing strategic business and engineering objectives.

Lead with more ease: Know how to overcome challenging situations, difficult conversations and tasks with frameworks, worksheets and algorithms.

Progress your career: Invest in yourself with leadership skills that will help you bridge the gap between leading the tech and leading the people. It’s what you need to keep progressing in your career!


Key Takeaways

Participants can anticipate walking away with a rich repository of knowledge, tips, worksheets and practical strategies to embark on their leadership journey.

Leadership Blueprint: Delve deep into understanding leadership, touching upon themes such as emotional intelligence, influential communication, and resilience building. Build out your own "Leadership Blueprint" that allows you to understand the type of leader you want to be.

Learn Specific Skills: Master the strategies to navigate conflicts constructively, communicate to non-technical audiences, influence stakeholders and build trust with your team.

Personal Development Plan: Develop a personalised Leadership Blueprint that mirrors your leadership style, helping you to carve a path that is both rewarding and aligned with your strengths.

Access to the Tech Leaders Launchpad: Participants also get 6mo access to the online learning platform - Tech Leaders Launchpad - with an additional 40 hours of self-paced learning content.


Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideally tailored for:

Tech/Team Leads: Learn to build trust and manage your team and yourself. Foster more collaborations across different teams and disciplines, and confidently communicate tech to non-tech audiences.

Principal & Staff Engineers: Learn to build strong relationships and trust to lead. Influence and set the technical direction for your teams, and nurture team talent through mentoring and knowledge sharing.

Engineering Managers: Learn to delegate work and empower others, influence stakeholders whilst balancing strategic business and engineering objectives, and effectively guide your team towards a shared vision and goal.


Facilitator

The Workshop is led by Andrew Murphy, a former software developer who has held various leadership positions in consultancies and SaaS companies like Linktree.

With the right support, Andrew believes that everyone can become the leader they want to be, which is why he now focuses on teaching those skills via his company Tech Leaders Launchpad.

By sharing his experiences, tools, and techniques, Andrew equips emerging and new tech leaders with the necessary skills for success in the modern workplace.
