SUMMARY:Engineering Leadership Roundtable: Understanding Your Candidate Pool
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to filling an open position\, keep in mind: You aren’t replacing Joe\, you’re hiring a developer. \nOftentimes\, when a long-term employee leaves their post\, hiring managers are stuck with the dilemma of finding a candidate who is prepared to pick right back up where the former employee left off.

We then dig into how to immediately apply those learnings to our messaging\, positioning\, and overall buying journey. In this one-part entertaining\, two-parts head-slapping insights\, and two-parts immediately actionable talk\, your selling philosophy will become\, as Tyra Banks calls it\, “flawsome!” \nREGISTER FOR FREE \nAbout Todd Caponi: \nTodd Caponi is the author of the 3x best-book-award-winning and international best-seller\, The Transparency Sale\, and his newly released (July 5th) bestseller The Transparent Sales Leader. Todd’s day job is as a speaker and workshop leader as Principal of Sales Melon LLC.

SUMMARY:ATC Unplugged Webinar - Diversity and Social Justice: A Starting Place
DESCRIPTION:Unlike other online diversity trainings\, this course introduces the concepts that the user or learner can utilize in their own lives immediately.

Coming to terms with our own unique positive and negative bias as well as how that intersects with our responsibility of perception and sense of entitlement to validation is the foundation of social justice work. Our experiences\, choices\, and impact\, both intentional and unintentional\, matter. This is the starting place. \nLearning Outcomes\n• Recognizing difference and engagement habits;\n• Personal reflection and seeking out new experiences;\n• Feeling safe and prepared;\n• Conscious and Unconscious Bias\, both positive and negative;\n• Recruitment\, Retention\, and Fit; and\n• The role of Curiosity\, Generosity\, Authenticity\, Vulnerability. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:May Roundtable Breakfast with Maura Thomas
DESCRIPTION:There’s an overlooked problem in your company and if you want to unleash the true genius of your team\, you need to solve it. \n• Do you encourage multitasking at your company?\n• Do you tell the team to be “responsive” to communication?\n• Do you say that your company has an “open door policy?” \nBelieve it or not\, these behaviors are contributing to the problem. Too many professionals (how many at your company?) go home at the end of the day and too often think\, “Oh my gosh\, I was busy all day and somehow I got nothing done!” This is demotivating\, disengaging\, and unproductive. It’s holding back your team members from having fulfilling\, satisfying work days\, and it’s holding back your company’s\nsuccess. Join us for this event and learn how to empower your team to go home every day thinking\, “Oh my gosh\, that was such a good day\, I got so much done!” It might be the best time you spend this week. \nAbout Maura \nMaura Nevel Thomas is an award-winning international speaker and trainer on individual and corporate productivity and work-life balance\, and the most widelycited authority on attention management. She is a TEDx Speaker\, founder of Regain Your Time\, author of six books\, and was named a Top Leadership Speaker in Inc. Magazine. Maura is a featured expert in major business outlets and is a regular\ncolumnist for both Forbes and the Harvard Business Review. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Presentation Skills for Executives
DESCRIPTION:Do you or someone on your team need to improve your speaking skills?  The June 27th ATC Roundtable Breakfast will be a presentation about presentations. \nBeing able to clearly and concisely share your ideas when the speaker at an event is more important than most people think. Every leader should present great content with an engaging speaking style every time they address an audience. But a busy schedule often means executives are winging it most of the time. The problem is when you wing it\, you rarely deliver the best presentation. \nAustin Technology Council CEO\, Thom Singer\, has delivered over 1200 professional presentations over 15 years.  During this time he has learned how to structure a short talk or a keynote to engage the audience. In this presentation he will share the five tips every executive should know about speaking (inside the company or to a conference audience). \nThis is a “must attend” event for everyone who wants to learn a few realistic tips on how they can be there best when they take any stage.  Be sure to bring any team member who could benefit from being a better speaker. \nJoin ATC at the new offices of Calavista Software (9225 Bee Cave Rd STE A-350\, Austin\, TX 78733). \nREGISTER NOW
