Women have a particular challenge these days as the reality of WFH (working from home) collides with the always-on culture that many tech companies expect of their employees. How do you set up the right boundaries and define what success looks like for yourself, for your team, for your bosses and for your co-workers at this time? There have been many stories recently about this topic, and so any pragmatic advice about what is realistic/unrealistic in terms of expectations at work (and with your family) is key. Grab some lunch and prepare to have a discussion with Connie, Carolina and Laura on how to navigate the new normal.
