Hack the System, Hold the Door by Tess Gouws

This isn’t a talk about tech; it’s about people. It’s about how we navigate obstacles in our own journeys - and how we can build pathways for others to succeed alongside us.

I’ll invite you to rethink how you create (not pursue) your career, share some tactics on how to build new skills (fast) and offer simple steps you can take to nurture and support emerging talent.

This talk is perfect for those considering a career change, wondering how to diversify their skills, or interested in giving back to their professional communities.
