In tech, intelligence and problem-solving skills are celebrated—but what happens when we hit a wall? Many of us pride ourselves on our independence and expertise, yet struggle to ask for help when we need it. Why is that? And how does this reluctance impact our careers, teams, and well-being?

In this talk, we’ll explore the psychological and cultural barriers that make asking for help so difficult, especially for high achievers. Through real-world stories (and a few hard-earned lessons), we’ll break down the myths around seeking support and discuss practical ways to foster a more collaborative, help-friendly culture. Whether you’re an engineer, a leader, or just someone who hates feeling “needy,” you’ll walk away with strategies to ask for help with confidence—and make your team stronger in the process.

Target Audience: Engineers, technical leaders, and high-achieving professionals who resist asking for help.

Speaker Information: Emily Harden is a knowledgeable consultant, skillful speaker, and community builder dedicated to fostering growth and impact. As the Founder and Owner of Harden Consulting, she provides tailored coaching to help people clarify what they want, navigate pivots, and thrive at work; so your passion becomes a sustainable path.
Emily draws on her deep roots in the tech ecosystem, where she previously served as Techlahoma's Executive Director, to connect challenges with creative solutions.

Pitching yourself, demystified

How to share your story with confidence (and without the cringe)

Talking about yourself can feel… awkward. Whether it’s introducing yourself to colleagues, updating your LinkedIn headline, networking at an event, or answering “so, what do you do?” - pitching yourself can easily trigger that internal cringe.

This session is here to change that. Anaïs Comot (Career Coach), we’ll break down what self-promotion really means - and how to do it in a way that feels natural, grounded, and true to you.

You’ll learn how to:
✨ Reframe self-promotion as connection, not bragging
✨ Craft a simple, authentic way to talk about what you do and why it matters
✨ Build small habits that make it easier to share your wins (without guilt)

We’ll keep it interactive, too - expect a mix of reflection, practical exercises, and a chance to practice your personal pitch live!

This event is for you if…
💬 You freeze when someone asks, “So, tell me about yourself.”
🚀 You’re ready to feel more confident talking about your work and wins.
🌱 You want to learn how to pitch yourself - without feeling “salesy.”

Target Audience: Job seekers or career changers refining how they present themselves.
Founders, freelancers, or creators looking to confidently talk about their work
*Professionals who want to communicate their impact and build visibility — without feeling self-promotional

Event Description:

Despite the growing availability of paid leave, many companies still struggle to implement policies in a way that supports both business continuity and career progression - especially for women. In this session, Parentaly CEO Allison Whalen will break down the top five takeaways from Parentaly’s research about what nearly 3,000 women shared about the parental leave experience at their organizations.

She’ll address what employees worry about most before going on leave (hint: it’s not childcare), the ripple effects on teams and managers, and why one-third of new parents leave their jobs within 18 months. Expect practical guidance for both expecting parents and their managers on how to make the leave transition a success - for the individual and the organization.

Speaker Information:

Allison Whalen (she/her) is the founder and CEO of Parentaly, a comprehensive program offered as an employee benefit to support employees and businesses through parental leave transitions. Allison started Parentaly after she returned to work from parental leave and found her piece of the business in disarray and her direct reports unhappy. After surveying her peers, she found the #1 complaint and reason for attrition after parental leave was due to career disruption caused by their time away from work. Allison has an MBA from Wharton and previously led the enterprise sales team at Managed by Q, which was acquired by WeWork.
