Austin Women in Technology Masterclass: Understanding Humans @ Work
Leadership isn’t defined by a title—it’s how we communicate, influence, and collaborate at work. Regardless of role, everyone contributes to innovation and team success through their leadership style.
This workshop series helps you explore your personal leadership approach, improve communication, and build psychological safety and belonging within your team. Through self-reflection and practical tools, you’ll enhance cross-functional collaboration, strengthen engagement, and grow both personally and professionally.
This 6-week masterclass introduces a science-backed framework that uses strategic language patterns and proven psychological techniques to help you shift from stress, anxiety, or burnout into a more focused, energized, and high-performance mindset. We ask that participants commit to one hour each Friday afternoon to fully engage with this transformative experience.
