Join us for a weekly dose of inspiration and insights into the world of possibilities waiting for you in tech. Whether you're changing careers, choosing your professional path for the first time, or you're already thriving in the sector - we've got something for you.
We'll be sitting down for a series of inspiring conversations with women from across our 350-strong community of role models. We'll dive into areas of the industry you might not know about to discover what opportunities are available to you, and tackle topics that affect us all, like understanding imposter syndrome or stepping into leadership for the first time.

First Leadership Roles
On this episode we're tackling the topic of stepping into leadership for the first time.
Whether you're excited or daunted by the prospect, today's guests are here to share their experiences and insights into this big transition.
Emma has 12 years of leadership under her belt, while Sana is right at the start of her journey, having just stepped into her first leadership role this year at the age of 21.
We discuss what leadership really is, what Emma wishes she'd known when she was a first-time leader, and what advice Sana has for senior managers working with new leaders to help everyone have a great experience. You'll hear about each of their paths to leadership, and Sana's inspiring thoughts on designing your life without following the well-trodden path.
Guests:
Sana Aboarook, Programme Coordinator at Agent Academy
Emma Dodd, Squad Lead at Auto Trader
