The Pitfalls and Powerplays of Storytelling in Technology
We have all heard of (and hopefully experienced) the power that storytelling has to ignite an audience. The question is: how do we harness this power as women in technology?
Fortunately, your skill as a storyteller can be learned, grown, and honed – even in the midst of a demanding technical career. This talk will give you common pitfalls to avoid and powerful tools to practice as you build your own stories.
Thank you sponsors!
