WomenWise presents: Real Talk - Women in Tech Leadership
This is an in-person event - we're proud to be bringing it to you as a partner of Manchester Tech Week.
WomenWise, in partnership with Investigo and Colony, has joined forced with Manchester Tech Week to bring you senior women from across the Northern tech ecosystem for an evening of unfiltered conversation about what leadership actually looks like.
We'll hear from a panel of senior women in leadership on:
What they've had to unlearn from earlier in their careers
The transition into leadership - what changed, what surprised them, what they'd do differently
The failures and redirections that shaped them most
What it really takes to lead right now
Followed by open Q&A and genuine time to connect with the women in the room.
This is for you if you're in leadership or moving towards it. If you're ambitious, honest about where you're at, and looking for a space to network with peers and have some vulnerable conversations.
