Talk details:
All of us working in a digital product organisation want to know our work matters. We crave recognition and appreciation. And in order to have that, we need to demonstrate our value as a unique part of the team. As a result, we often adjust our actions based on what we think people expect from us.
We’re asking ourselves: Are you good at accepting feedback and compromising but also knowing when to stand your ground? Are you proactive enough while still being humble? Do you wonder if you can ask for advice without looking like you can’t make your own decisions? Are you actually good enough for your job? And why do you often feel like a complete imposter in your community?
In this talk, Alex will explore all of these questions and more using insights collected from other colleagues who have shared their struggles. Expect an honest chat about the regular battles people fight daily (but often do not share), learn how to deal with them practically and get more inspired in the process.
