"I remember when I was first promoted into an SE management position - I was helped along the way by some amazing mentors, but a structured workshop and community to share best practices across industries didn't exist. Fast forward to 2018, and I had the pleasure of participating in a fantastic SE Leadership Institute workshop here in SF. This old dog learned some new tricks and I plan on sending any new SE leaders on my team to attend in the future!"
