The Dog and the Tech Lead: What Animal Training Taught Me About Being a Better Mentor

People who start out loving to code and get good at it eventually end up being responsible for teaching others how to get better at coding too. While tech leads typically don’t directly manage others, they are critical in the development of juniors. Being a good tech lead requires more than being good at coding: it implies the ability to teach and motivate, skills that engineers are rarely provided formal training to develop. Christina will explore how becoming a dog trainer inspired her to rethink how she interacts with co-workers, providing actionable tips to make teaching and learning more enjoyable.
