Talk Description

It has been a year since I made the transition from an individual contributor to a people manager and in this talk, I want to share key lessons that I learned as a new Quality Engineering Manager.

The session aims to provide guidance to individuals thinking of becoming a people manager.

I'll be talking about what has worked well with my direct reports, what hasn't worked well and an overall reflection of how I made relationships with my direct reports all while working remotely.

What you’ll learn

By the end of this talk, you'll be able to:

  • Learned what skills you would need as a People Manager
  • Understand why leading with empathy and kindness is important
  • How to deal with difficult conversations
  • Learned what further resources such as books and podcasts can help you with your management journey
