Engineering Leadership & Executive Coach
A series of talks designed to help you master your Business, your Delivery, your Strategy and your People.
The full program will be announced soon. Register your interest to get notified when it's available.
This talk is designed to help you get your teams working effectively on the most impactful tasks. It will deliver practical tools to set priorities and roadmap, identify and debug delivery issues, and measure your organizational performance.
In this session, we'll delve into management debt – the collection of inefficiencies, unresolved issues, and missed opportunities in how we manage teams. Just like its technical counterpart, management debt accumulates, quietly impacting the organization over time.
This talk is designed to help you become an effective business leader as well as an effective technical leader. It will provide you with the tools to develop strong commercial awareness, frameworks for effective cross-functional working with your management counterparts, and communication skills for influencing non-technical leaders.
This talk will give practical examples on how to craft or evolve an effective technical strategy. And, once you’ve crafted it, give guidance on how to communicate it to stakeholders, ensure buy-in and advice on how to adapt it over time.
Dedicated sessions on how to take the next step in your career for:
Office hours is your opportunity to connect face-to-face, ask questions and find out more.

Major changes to how our organizations work, from reorgs to strategy shifts to new teams, often expose growth areas in our organizational culture. Yet soon after such a change, we frequently see teams make a mad dash towards velocity improvements, skipping over the fundamental work of investing in the culture necessary to support the change. This can create a nearly invisible impediment to the velocity we're striving to attain. However, there are also situations where culture can ensure clarity and drive sustainable velocity, where your organization's culture becomes a force multiplier for your change work. How can leaders examine proposed changes and prepare their teams to move from a culture that impedes progress to one that enables strategic change?
This talk addresses the gap in information around moving from operational roles like Director or VP to executive roles such as CTO or CIO. It will explore which managerial skills support executive success, potential pitfalls, and how to balance operational versus strategic concerns. Additionally, it will provide a roadmap for navigating this transition, including advice on prioritizing time with your team, peers, bosses, and supervisory board.
The step from manager to director oftentimes feels like a leap. The scope of skills that you need to become a senior leader is way broader than just engineering. From how to understand business & commercial topics, to build relationships with cross-functional peers, to influence less technical colleagues — whilst retaining responsibility for technical teams and topics. Join this talk as Dana discusses how you can identify the skill gaps in your teams and support your managers as they transition to leadership.
This talk will give guidance and real-world examples of how good leaders balance priorities and investments in technical projects and how to make effective budgetary tradeoffs.
