This session will explore the parallels between women's self-defense principles and effective technical leadership. Drawing inspiration from self-defense training, we examine how situational awareness, confidence, adaptability, and empowerment translate into leadership qualities essential for guiding technical teams. Through clear communication, conflict resolution, and a commitment to continuous learning, technical leaders can create environments that promote collaboration, innovation, and resilience. By embracing these principles, leaders can navigate challenges with agility, empower their teams, and foster a culture of growth and success in technical endeavors.
