WHO CAN ATTEND OUR EVENTS?
Any woman or nonbinary person interested in or working in technology is welcome at ALL of our events. (To be extra clear, "women" includes both trans and cis women. 🏳️🌈)
Men are welcome at most of our events, but not all; occasionally, we host events that are specifically for women and nonbinary folks. In either case, we strive to make it crystal clear in the event description.
Still unsure if it's appropriate for you to attend? Feel free to shoot us an email at admin@madisonwomen.tech and double-check (we're very nice ❤️).
ACCESSIBILITY / INCLUSION
With rare exceptions, all our in-person events are hosted at accessible locations near multiple public transportation options; we also work to have gender neutral bathrooms available at every in-person event. When food is involved, we make sure to have vegan and gluten-free items available.
CHILDREN
We aren't often able to provide dedicated childcare, and some of our events might not be appropriate for children (depending on their age), but we encourage you to bring your children if it would otherwise be a barrier from you attending (or if you think they'd enjoy the event!).
CODE OF CONDUCT
Madison Women in Tech deliberately curates spaces for and by women and nonbinary folks. At in-person and virtual events where men are invited to attend, they are expected to listen, and not center themselves or their experiences.
All attendees, at both in-person and virtual events, agree to adhere to the Madison Women in Tech code of conduct.

ABOUT
This presentation explores how Simon Sinek's leadership methodologies, combined with an understanding of managing diverse team members and insights from Adam Grant on feedback discussions, can enhance leadership effectiveness. Simon Sinek emphasizes the importance of leading with purpose and starting with "why" to inspire and build trust within teams. His approach fosters a culture where team members feel valued and motivated. Understanding that each team member is unique and requires an individualized management approach is crucial. Leaders must recognize and utilize the diverse strengths and needs of their team to engage and motivate them effectively. Moreover, integrating Adam Grant's strategies for giving and receiving feedback helps to cultivate an environment of openness and continuous improvement. By addressing the need for psychological safety, leaders can facilitate honest conversations that contribute to personal and organizational growth. This presentation aims to provide leaders with both theoretical and practical tools to elevate their leadership, improve team dynamics, and drive success.
