The Skills Parenthood Builds — and How They Fuel Your Career
The Skills Parenthood Builds — and How They Fuel Your Career
What if some of the most valuable leadership skills aren’t developed at work?
Parenthood demands constant prioritization, adaptability, and decision-making in complex environments — the same capabilities required to grow and lead in high-performance roles. Yet these skills are often under-recognized and under-leveraged in career conversations.
Join us for a panel conversation with leaders from across the Amsterdam tech community as we explore how parenthood shapes leadership — and how to translate those experiences into career growth.
You’ll hear perspectives from senior leaders across tech, people strategy, and engineering, and have the opportunity to reflect on your own growth and connect with others navigating similar transitions.
Speakers:
Saskia de Jongh, VP Delivery at Uber
Marco Burelli, Director People Strategy at Philips
Patricia Lenten, Head of Engineering at Bol
