Motivation and Tips for Presenting at Tech Conferences

Tip: This is how much money is saved by testing 👈🏻

"So my recommendation is not to Care too much about the audience face expressions while you're talking from the stage because you never know what it means." - Maryia Tuleika

In this episode, I talk with Maryia Tuleika about stepping on stage in tech and testing. We explore why people speak: joy of sharing, stage energy, and community. The hard part is fear and stress. If you fear the stage, you will hear simple moves that help. Maryia shows how to switch stress to excitement: prep well, record dry runs, collect feedback, use box breathing, slow down, and stand tall.

Maryia Tuleika is a Quality Engineering Leader who leads teams, creates testing strategies, drives education programs and actively contributes to the testing community. As a mentor, speaker and conference organiser she helps new test professionals build their skills and confidence. She is a podcast host and a co-founder of Beyond Quality community of practice. Maryia believes that great testing brings both technical excellence and knowing what to prioritize, think critically and enjoy the process.
