Women Coding Community

Speaker: Rajani Rao, Principal Engineer, Principal Technologist & Women Coding Community Co-Founder | LinkedIn

🎓What you'll learn:

• Why 95% of decisions are emotional—and how to speak to the part of the brain that actually decides
• The body language, vocal cues, and micro-behaviors that elevate your authority
• How to balance warmth and competence without falling into the "likeability trap"
• One powerful question that instantly shifts resistance into collaboration
• A practical plan to build strategic influence in your workplace

🎯 Who it's for:
Women in technical roles, aspiring leaders, engineering managers, and allies who want to drive change with intention, empathy, and impact.

💡 You'll walk away with:
Tools you can apply immediately, a new way of seeing influence, and a leadership edge that helps people say yes to your ideas.

👩🏽‍💻 Code of Conduct
At Women Coding Community we are committed to a vibrant, supportive community. When attending our events, all members should follow our Code of Conduct. The full version you can find following the link:
https://womencodingcommunity.com/code-of-conduct

To get the place follow the link LeetCode Summer Bootcamp to register!

What you'll learn:

• Master Algorithms & Data Structures: Dive deep into the fundamental building blocks of efficient code. We'll cover a wide range of data structures (arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, hash tables) and algorithms (sorting, searching, dynamic programming, graph traversal) that are crucial for technical interviews.
• Crack Coding Interview Questions: We will dissect the most popular coding interview questions, focusing on problem-solving strategies specifically based on Algorithms and Data Structures.
• Develop Optimal Solutions: Learn various techniques and gain valuable insights into how to quickly devise and implement solutions with optimal time and space complexity. We'll explore different algorithmic approaches and help you understand the trade-offs between them.
• Nail Your Interviews: Beyond just solving problems, we'll provide guidance on how to effectively communicate your thought process, handle edge cases, and present your solutions clearly to impress interviewers.

By the end of this bootcamp, you will:

• Have a strong understanding of core algorithms and data structures.
• Be proficient in solving a wide variety of coding interview problems.
• Know how to analyze the time and space complexity of your solutions.
• Be equipped with effective strategies to approach and solve coding challenges under pressure.
• Gain the confidence to ace your technical interviews and take the next big step in your tech career!

📜 Earn a Certificate: Upon successfully completing the course, including participation in discussions and submission of the homework, you will receive a certificate recognising your achievement in mastering problem-solving questions.
To qualify for the certificate, participants must complete at least 80% of the homework.
