If you’ve ever deliberately joined a Zoom late to avoid the small talk, WELCOME! In this live workshop, I’ll show you how to build real connections (without draining your energy) so you can open doors, grow your career, and actually enjoy the process.

Come Join Us If…

• You’re craving a slower, more human way to build relationships in tech

• You’re in a season of exploring what’s next and know the right people can help you find it

• You’ve built a strong, tenured career in tech, but want to feel seen for who you actually are, not just your job title

What We’ll Cover

💬 Why traditional networking advice doesn’t work for introverts

🛠️ How to build a network without small talk or self-promotion

🔥 Simple actions that don’t require performative extroversion\ \ Target Audience:\ \ This is for mid-senior women in tech looking for realistic, energizing steps to take toward networking as an introvert. Whether they’re starting a side hustle, pivoting, or just craving connection.

Speaker Information:

​​Hello, fellow introvert,\ \ I've spent over a decade in tech as an engineering leader, UX researcher, and VC-backed founder before I realized I was done forcing myself into career paths that didn’t fit and I was so exhausted for it.

Now, I help mid-to-senior women in tech figure out what path feels alive for them, without spending their whole life at the laptop.

I am a career coach, leadership strategist, and big fan of creating a flexible, freedom-filled career. After spending over a decade in tech leadership, I swapped the 9-5 grind for a location-independent portfolio career and to my surprise, it replaced my tech salary within a year. Currently, it looks like coaching and consulting. Previously, it looked like engineering and chocolatiering (with dumpling making and audiobook narration on the side).

​I help women in tech build careers that align with their values to bring them freedom and creative fulfillment. My approach is fun, warm and real, blending practical leadership strategies with actionable insights to help my clients fall back in love with their careers.\ \ You can follow Sarah on the platforms below:\ \ Instagram: Sarah Ing Coaching

Participants will learn the concept of deep work and how to get more done in less time. We’ll begin by talking about “flow,” the science of productivity, and the art of finding focus… even working from home.

Then, we’ll actually do a work sprint where you’ll get more done in 20 minutes than you have in most entire morning! Finally, you’ll leave you with clear takeaways about being more focused and productive, especially working from home.

Bring a project to work on: that thing you’ve been putting off or that thing that needs to get done. Once you leave The Cave, you’ll never work the same way again.

Target Audience:

Women ages 25-50 who need support when it comes to focusing including those diagnosed with ADHD.\ \ ​Speaker Information:

Pivoting into (or within) tech can be super alluring.

The money. The innovation. The cool-factor.

But if it were easy, you’d already be there.

Maybe you’re spooked by layoffs or AI’s impact on jobs.\ Maybe you’ve been ghosted by a thousand job apps.\ Maybe you’re wondering if you’re even cut out for tech.

Whether you're already in tech or trying to break in, this workshop is for you.

In this interactive session you’ll:

​📊 Pressure-test your pivot: Will that role actually make you happier? Is now the right time?

💡 Learn what matters most in a successful tech pivot (and what to stop wasting time on)

📚 Start building your own playbook—so you leave knowing what to do, and how to do it

And if you want expert support bringing your playbook to life? I’ve got you.​

Target Audience:

This workshop is for folks with at least one job under their belt who are exploring a pivot into (or within) tech—and want support to make it happen.

• Maybe you’re already in tech and ready to switch functions (e.g., Tech Sales → Product Management, Product Design → Engineering, Data Analyst → Data Scientist).
• Or maybe you’re breaking in from another field (e.g., Educator → Ed Tech, Project Manager → Technical Program Manager, Marketing/Communications → Digital Growth).

You’ve done everything “right” - built deep expertise, earned the trust of your team, and delivered results.\ But now you're asking the question many mid-career women in tech face:\ What’s next?

Do you continue building as a high-performing IC?\ Or is it time to step into management - even if it feels like a leap into the unknown?

This decision can shape not just your next role, but your long-term career fulfillment.

Join Leadership & Career Coach Dipti Patel, a former Head of Product who has navigated both paths - for a strategic, no-fluff class to help you clarify your next move before burnout or doubt make it for you.

✅ What you’ll learn:

• How to assess your current path, and whether it's still serving your goals
• The real tradeoffs of management vs IC (beyond title and salary)
• How to grow as a “Super IC” without stalling your career
• Step-by-step tips to prepare for a move into management (if that’s your choice)
• How AI and org shifts are changing what leadership looks like—and who thrives in it

Target Audience:

🎯 This session is for you if:

• You’re a mid-career woman in tech (product, engineering, design)
• You’re an IC feeling ready for more, but unsure where to go next
• You’re curious about management, but want clarity before making the jump
• You want a strategic framework, not generic advice​

Women in tech walk a fraught and narrow tightrope of self-promotion. You've heard it all before -- on one side, you have your well-meaning mentors and advice columns cautioning you not to be too aggressive. On the other side, you have the research that shows your work won't speak for itself and you have to self-advocate.

As a result, talking about your results feels clunky, and perhaps you default to staying quiet, doing great work and hoping that your work does speak for itself. In this session, coach Cydnee DeToy will teach you how to own your value, sharing the proven framework and simple strategies that she's used with over 100 clients.

By the end of 60 minutes, you'll have your exact words you need to share your value and be ready to do it in a way that feels confident and 100% authentic. ​

Target Audience:

This session is for women in tech who are high performers but feel stuck when it comes to talking about their own impact. You might be:

• ​Someone who's been told to "speak up more"—but not too much.
• Someone who consistently delivers results, yet struggles to get the recognition or visibility you deserve.
• Someone who’s tired of walking the fine line between being “too quiet” or “too much,” and just wants to feel real and confident when self-advocating.

If you’ve ever hesitated to share your wins, felt like your accomplishments were being overlooked, or wished you had the right words to express your value without second-guessing yourself—this session is for you!

Speaker Information:

Cydnee DeToy is a Career Coach and Speaker for high-achieving millennial women. Cydnee equips clients with the mindsets and strategies to create and thrive in the career they want. She believes we should feel as good as our resumes look.

As a coach since 2019, Cydnee has helped over 100 women reimagine their lives. She has worked with clients at Meta, Tiktok, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, PwC, Mayer Brown, Goodwin, Wayfair, and numerous start-ups and social impact organizations.

She speaks about intentional career design and sustaining high-performance and has presented to The Forte Foundation, Old Girls Club, Talea, Moms Who Health Tech and Wellable. Her work has been featured in Slate, Entrepreneur, and on various podcasts.

Cydnee left her c-suite role to follow her calling and scale her coaching business in 2023. She is a former strategy consultant, head of people + culture, chief of staff and executive leader.

She draws on her training in business, coaching and yoga in her work with clients.
