How do you ask for a raise?

For over 20 years, Jess has built and lead product development and user experience teams across a wide range of industries -- in the U.S. and Europe -- from teams as small as 5 to organizations as large as 500. She's developed her leadership through a multi-disciplinary practice, with a strong focus on user experience/design lead teams. It's the time she spends outside of her day job in mentorship and advising both leaders and those just getting into their fields the most rewarding, though. Her biggest personal value is transparency, so this open "ask me anything" style discussion to get executive insight or even just a second opinion on your burning career and workplace questions or issues from a seasoned leader who has sat in high impact leadership teams for some of the most successful businesses operating today. 

I'm happiest when I'm creating products that make a difference in people's lives, with people who care. I've lead cross-functional product development teams for the past 20 years and it's been my great pleasure to bring what I learned from being a design practitioner to my leadership practice.

Let's face it, it's hard to attract recruiters especially when you're getting started in your career. How can you stand out from the crowd? What techniques do you need to build your personal brand so you can land your dream job?

Scrum is a framework for creating complex products in complex environments. In this session, we'll be introduced to this lightweight framework that helps people, teams and organizations to generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems.

Agenda:
- Scrum Mindset: Transparency, Inspection and Adaptation
- Scrum Values: Commitment, Focus, Openness, Respect and Courage
- Scrum Team: Scrum Master, Product Owner and Developers
- Scrum Events: Planning, Daily Scrum, Review and Retrospective
- Scrum Artifacts: Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog and Increment
- Real case scenario analysis

I help developers to grow in their career by identifying what's the best to focus to excel on their current challenges. The tech knowledge is as important as the soft skills, sometimes learning a new framework is not what will bring you the best results, but sometime it is. Let's discover that together!

First steps with Scrum

Africa has been referred to as the last frontier for Global Growth, and Technology is at the core of Africa’s economic transformation. Although many African countries still face challenges related to infrastructure, governance, security and talent, the young generation is forging a new path towards sustainability for the continent through Tech and Innovation.  The Future of Tech in Africa cannot be overlooked as Africa is blessed with an abundance of human capital and well-positioned to take advantage of the advances in Technology, and with the acceleration of the Remote work culture brought about by COVID-19, this opens up global opportunities for millions of young Africans.

So the whole world is wondering:  Will the next Google spring up from Lagos?
Is the next Mark Zuckerberg already in Nairobi?
Has the next Elon musk been born somewhere in Uganda?  
Could the next Silicon Valley be located somewhere in Africa?

Who best to provide answers to these questions and more than, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, the man behind two African unicorns: Flutterwave and Andela, and relentlessly shaping the future of Africa by enabling other visionary African founders through his venture fund Future Africa.

On your hero's journey, the career map can become a powerful ally towards your transformed return.

Let's explore how a career mindmap has the potential to positively contribute to the way you see your trajectory, helping you to take ownership of your story, bringing important information such as your motivations, aspirations and interests.

If there are areas of your career that you would like to improve, including the changes you need to make to achieve greater success or happiness, a mind map may just be the tool to help you brainstorm and discover your purpose.

This is a call to adventure: let's find your most valuable treasure - you. Are you ready?
