28 min - They’re going to find you out! – Tackling Imposter Syndrome
“That person is capable of so much more”, “I just got lucky”, or “I shouldn’t be here” - These are the manifestations of the Imposter Complex; that voice in your head that lets you believe you aren’t good enough. Jen Brown shares her expertise on how the imposter complex plays out in both individual and team contexts and how leaders can achieve high-performance by tackling it in their organisation.

36 min - Sustaining high performance in platform teams – avoiding burnout
We often hear “people are our most important asset”, yet frequently leaders and organisations will rely on an EAP program to deal with the fallout of stress rather than catch it early. Mark Butler is a mental health expert and strategist who helps organisations build capability in their teams to get in front of those mental health issues that hinder peak performance. We discuss the measurable impact of stress in the technology space and how leaders can get on the front foot to combat burnout by creating psychologically safe workplaces.
