Expanding your skillset
None
Find the time to do more • Focus makes you
faster • Turn off notifications • Block/Turn off social • Go easy on the caffeine!
Timeboxing • Problem solving is a skill • Sometimes it
takes your brain time • Take a break, have a walk • Use a timer
Learning to learn - Find the right space - Find
the right time - Find the right content - Pay it forward
Imposter Syndrome Doubt kills more dreams than failure
Nailing the interview Your interviewer wants to know : •
Why are they leaving? • Do they have the skills we need? • Will they work well with the others? • Will they leave their ego at the door? • Are they going to learn new things? • Are they going to ask for help?
• Think ”AT-AT” • Refresh your skills • This is
not a quest • Learn to focus • Learn to timebox • Learn to learn! • Doubt is your enemy • Prepare, Prepare and Prepare some more Talk notes
