We are kicking off 2021 with a bang! 🎉

Title:
Leadership as an Individual Contributor — The Non-Managerial Path to Success

Description:
Join us for this exciting talk with speaker Renee Reid as she sheds light on a topic often left in the dark. We’re frequently told throughout our careers that managing people is the only path to success. Frankly, not all people are fit to manage other people—and that’s okay! In this discussion, Renee highlights her career success and provides ways to help UX practitioners navigate a path to leadership at an individual contributor level.
