TechThrive

TechThrive

TechThrive 2023 is a 5-month series of facilitated virtual discussions centered around opportunities and challenges that influence success within the Central PA tech ecosystem. Whether you are an independent contractor, an entry-level technologist, a middle manager, the CEO or somewhere in between, all are welcome. While those who are able to attend all 5 sessions will reap the greatest benefits from the experience, those who know ahead of time that they will have to miss a session or two are still welcome.

Special thank you to our volunteer co-facilitators Jessica Gutierrez and Todd Spahr with cyberconIQ.

FOCUS:

Participants will be expected to purchase a copy of the book Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts. by Brene Brown prior to the first virtual meeting on Thursday, 6/22/2023 and complete reading assignments prior to each monthly discussion.

GOAL:

TechThrive discussions will center around the following questions:

How can we cultivate braver, more daring leaders within the technology community in Central PA? How can we embed the value of courage in our culture?
