LeicesterJS - March Meetup - Psychological safety in high performance teams

LeicesterJS is back for another tech (and pizza) filled evening. Connect with local developers and listen to talks by industry leaders and experts.

Remember we're in a brand new location at the offices of DeadHappy this month! See below for the address.

This month we have a talk being given by Tom Geraghty who is a "veteran technology team builder" according to Computing Magazine, Tom is an expert in transforming team performance. Over his 15 years as a technology leader, he has come to believe that culture trumps strategy, and happiness precedes success.

Tom is currently the Head of Technology at MoreNiche in Nottingham, CTO of Ydentity, an identity protection startup, and a management consultant for Q5.

Outside of work, Tom is a yoga teacher and mountain biker.

He'll be coming to talk to us about "Missile Destroyers, Supercomputers, and Chernobyl. Psychological safety in high performance teams".
Here is a sneak preview of what you can expect from this talk:

"Safety isn't just necessary in order to prevent disasters, it's also crucial to building and maintaining high performance teams and organisations.

Building high performing software requires high performing teams, in which team members need to feel able to express their creativity, talents and skills without self-censoring, self-silencing, or fear of failure. In this talk, Tom introduces the latest research in high performance technology teams, and provides actionable concepts to help you build and elevate your team."

But wait! There is more! LeicesterJS Stickers will be up for grabs! Come down and get yourself one!

The scheduled start is 7 pm, with food and refreshments at 7:30 pm, followed by networking and general discussion with a scheduled end time of around 8:30 pm.
