7 Things Technical Leaders can Learn from Disney Princesses

When does learning really happen? Is it at work? In the classroom? At the conference?

Agile
Fun
People
Soft Skills

Yes! And everywhere else. We can't shut off learning, and we can't stop ourselves from seeing the connection in everyday things.

Learning and inspiration can come from any place, so why not look at the unsung heroes - Disney Princesses and see what we can learn about leading tech teams from them?

Whether it is Raya's quest to create a united Kumandra or Rapunzle's wish to start something, there are lessons for us technical leaders hidden in the depths of the Disney movie tomb.

Join Martin for a fun and entertaining session about what I learned from watching movies, listening to songs, and role-playing princess with my daughter over the last few years.

You will get seven memorable lessons about leadership accompanied by songs (not sung by Martin) to help you remember them.
