"Since becoming an SE Leader I've found it very challenging to find a group of peers to learn from outside my organization. By creating an environment where experienced, talented, and humble SE Leaders could gather and share best practices, Stephen and his team provided something I had not yet had access to: meaningful guidance. Over the two day workshop, I learned a lot about what makes great SE organizations flourish and had concrete takeaways and strategies that I could being to implement immediately. In addition, I connected with other SE managers who are experiencing similar challenges and now we have a common place to continue to learn from one another in an ongoing manner. The small class size environment is ideal for SEs who may not have a tendency to always pipe up even if they have great ideas. I would, and already have, recommended this workshop to anyone who is developing an SE organization, you will definitely learn something new!"
