The verification email does not arrive
Check your spam and/or junk folders for the email. We know that some corporate email firewalls block our emails, and in this case you'll need to get in touch (see below) for us to move your ticket to an alternative email address.
The verification email link does not work
The links are time limited, so make sure you've tried in the last few minutes. If not, some corporate email firewalls have occasionally corrupted the verification links, and in this case you'll need to get in touch (see below) for us to move your ticket to an alternative email address.
Where can I find my ticket?
Your ticket will have been emailed to you from support@tito.io (Tito is our ticketing provider). If you don't have an email from Tito with your ticket, check with the person who made the booking originally. Otherwise, get in touch and we'll be able to help.
Getting help
The quickest way to get support is via our #help-desk channel on Slack (not a member of LeadDev Slack? join here.)

The most common archetype that new Staff Engineers are likely to adopt is that of the Tech Lead.
Typically, there is an abundance of issues, projects, and people that ask for and benefit from technical leadership. At first, this is exciting, opportunities are everywhere. But as you grow in your role, your exposure increases, but your time does not. How can you avoid turning into a bottleneck? This is the time when you need to scale yourself. But scaling yourself goes beyond delegating tasks to others. To multiply yourself effectively, you have to teach your skills to others, turning your colleagues into technical leaders themselves.
In this talk, I will share different techniques that help you grow your colleagues to a level where they can do a part of your job. I will explain the difference between delegating, mentoring, and teaching, and demonstrate with examples how little effort it takes to turn your everyday tasks into teaching moments, improving your understanding of your own skills in the process.
Passing on your skills and knowledge might be the biggest long-term impact you can have. And most of all, it is a win-win-win situation: your company benefits, your colleagues grow, and you gain the capacity to take the next step yourself.
