Highlights include:
What did you learn about collaboration from swing dancing?
Why do we need to give other people the benefit of the doubt?
What was it like being an executive in big tech?
Where can people start to develop more confidence?
What is important to remember when giving feedback?

Who is Christina Wodtke?
Christina is one of the most impactful, established, and original thought leaders in Silicon Valley. There won’t be many of you listening who haven’t at least heard of her groundbreaking and bestselling book on OKRs, Radical Focus - now in its second edition!
A self-described “curious human” with a serious big-tech resume, her work in design and product has included redesigns and IPOs at companies such as LinkedIn, MySpace, Zynga, and Yahoo!
But those big names only scratch the surface of Christina’s professional story. She has co-founded a tech startup, co-founded the Information Architecture Institute, founded and was the original publisher of Boxes and Arrows, and is the founder Women Talk Design.
Christina is currently preparing the next generation of product and game designers, as a full-time lecturer at Stanford University. Previously, Christina was an Associate Professor at California College of the Arts, where she taught creative entrepreneurship.
