We’re excited to welcome Nitya Shekar as our featured guest speaker!
Nitya will present “Coaching: The Leadership Shift That Builds Future-Proof Teams.” In today’s fast-moving tech landscape, leaders are often expected to have the answers - quickly, confidently, and consistently. But the most resilient, high-performing teams aren’t built on leaders who solve everything. They’re built on leaders who coach: who create space for others to think, grow, and lead.
With deep experience supporting leaders and teams through moments of change and complexity, Nitya will share why coaching is not a “nice-to-have,” but a core leadership capability for building autonomy, trust, and long-term performance. She’ll explore how shifting from advice-giving to coaching conversations helps your team members strengthen their own judgment, confidence, and problem-solving skills - so they don’t just deliver today, but develop into tomorrow’s leaders.
You’ll learn how to:
- Shift your conversations so team members find their own solutions, instead of relying on you for answers.
- Unlock transformational insights through focused, non-judgmental listening, powerful questions, reflective statements, and other practical coaching skills.
- Link short-term challenges to long-term growth, helping team members connect day-to-day work with their career development and leadership trajectory.
Expect a session full of clear frameworks, practical tools, and mindset shifts you can apply immediately - whether you’re leading a team, mentoring emerging talent, or navigating your own leadership evolution.
The event will kick off with a 30-minute keynote from Nitya, followed by a live Q&A before one-on-one begins.
