Own your voice: Assertive Communication for Women in Tech
Details
✨ We’re thrilled to re-launch the Women Coding Community Career Club! ✨
We are kicking off with a powerful session led by Yasuko Ohtake, a leading technologist who will share candid insights from her career and practical strategies for visibility and influence in tech.
In an industry often dominated by jargon, “performance,” and unspoken rules, many women in technology remain overlooked despite their technical brilliance.
This session is an invitation to practice being you, being seen, being heard, and leading with confidence.
This session is designed to:
🔹guide female engineers, analysts, and tech leaders who are ready to stop being the "best kept secret" in their organisation.
🔹 give practical guidance on how to breakdown the barriers to assertive communication.
🔹discuss how to translate technical achievements to business value that execs understand, show up authentically, so your voice is heard as well as sought after.
Whether you are aiming for a senior role or looking to be heard in team meetings, this webinar provides the safe space and professional strategy needed to bridge the gap between technical expertise and leadership.

Speaker: Yasuko Ohtake | LinkedIn
Yasuko has over 25+ years in tech and cyber in the financial services industry. She’s worked on a number of digital transformation and infrastructure security projects. After working with so many brilliant women in tech who kept hiding their brilliance, she found herself called to empower them. In addition, she is working on making tech accessible for women, and to encourage girls to enter the world of tech. She leads from 'yutori', having the space to breathe, so leadership is authentic and sustainable. She holds a Cisco CCIE and ISACA CISM, though she believes that experience tops qualifications.
