Roku is thrilled to host the Ministry of Testing Cambridge meetup - with organiser and host Samuel Lewis.
Join us for an inspiring and practical evening focused on one of the most impactful areas of our careers: leadership. Whether you're an experienced people manager or stepping into leadership for the first time, this session is designed to give you real-world insights, practical skills, and space to ask the questions that matter most.
🛠️ Social Learning Workshop: How to Be a Better Leader
Facilitated by: Drew Pontikis
Some people choose to be line managers, some people have line management thrust upon them. None of us, however, get taught how to be line managers — we have to learn for ourselves.
This social learning workshop is an opportunity for people — whether they are experienced or brand-new people leaders — to explore and develop how to be a more successful and effective manager and leader of people.
Expect a collaborative and interactive session where you'll share experiences, learn from others, and leave with ideas you can put into practice straight away.
🙋♂️ Ask Me Anything: Leadership
With: Neil Younger (Co-op Group) & Nick Sheppard (Roku) & Drew Pontikis
Three accomplished technology leaders will be answering your most pressing questions on leadership — from building high-performing teams, to influencing upwards and shaping culture. Bring your toughest questions and biggest challenges for an honest, open discussion.
