From Practitioner to Technical Leader... What Actually Changes?

Moving from strong individual contributor to technical lead can be one of the biggest shifts in an engineering career. The technical skills that got you there still matter, but the role starts to ask something different of you. Hosted by Nick Choudhry, Senior Software Craftsperson at Codurance, this session will explore what that transition really looks like in practice. How do you move from doing to enabling? From being measured on your own output to helping a team succeed? And how do you resist the urge to solve every problem yourself? If you’re thinking about making the move but haven’t yet, come along with your questions, concerns and uncertainties. If you’ve already made the transition, we’d love you to join the conversation too and share your reflections alongside Nick. What changed? What surprised you? What was harder than expected? And what do you wish you had known sooner? Expect an open, interactive honest and practical discussion, with plenty of space to learn from the experiences of others. Pizza and refreshments provided! If you are struggling to get in the venue, please ring Joel on 07857893604.
