Episode Synopsis

Send us a textIn this episode of Beyond the Build, we dive into the critical skill every engineer needs, but few are taught: how to collaborate with leadership. From one-on-ones with your manager to hallway chats with directors and VPs, we cover what you should be saying, asking, and sharing to make your work more visible, effective, and aligned.We break down the types of conversations to have, how to tailor your updates to different levels of leadership, how to ask for feedback, and how to make sure your work doesn’t get lost in translation. Plus, we unpack the power of brag sheets and how to use them without sounding like, well, a jerk.
