Thriving Under Pressure: Practical Tools for Tech Leaders [Workshop and Dinner included]

​Having coached hundreds of tech leaders and founders in Silicon Valley and Singapore, Karen Tay is attuned to the unique challenges of Asian tech leaders who operate in cross-cultural environments. She has crafted this interactive, hands-on workshop for the Block 71 and Singapore Global Network community, targeted at tech leaders with at least 8 years of experience and/or founders.

​If you're looking for practical tools that have helped many other tech leaders thrive and grow through the rollercoaster of start-up leadership, this workshop is for you. You will:

• ​Gain practical tools + strategies to regulate yourself, and your team, in the midst of tough times and transitions 

• ​Learn when to invest in and when to cut challenging relationships - a major source of stress for leaders 

• ​Practice difficult feedback and coaching conversations in a safe environment 

• ​Identify gaps in your support network for tough times and transitions 

• ​Gain a peer support network to continue your growth 

​SGN and Block 71 are generously sponsoring a delicious Singaporean dinner after the workshop, providing the perfect opportunity to unwind and connect further.
