Purpose:

PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering: educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women.

Building great products takes a lot of work, but hard work isn't enough on its own. No matter what you're building, you're going to need a plan for how you'll get there. In this talk, we'll talk about the Heroku Postgres team's working habits as it scaled a 24x7 high-availability product while maintaining close contact with its users over a long period. We'll focus on the specific and practical techniques the team used to plan, organize, and execute its work, and talk about the principles behind them. After a tour of some of these techniques, Heroku Postgres founding member Peter van Hardenberg will answer your questions about scaling from startup to acquisition and massive scale.

Speaker Bio:

Peter van Hardenberg was an early team member at Heroku and co-founded Heroku's Department of Data, the team behind Heroku Postgres. Heroku was acquired by Salesforce.com in December 2010 for $212M less than four years after founding. Prior to joining Heroku, he worked as an Arctic oceanographer, game developer, and Shakespearean scholar. He lives in San Francisco and, among other things, advises high-growth software companies like Zapproved and Auth0.

Workshop Details

“After 10-years, she was an overnight success,” illustrates the point that people rarely reach their victories over night. It takes talent, experience, hard work and leveraging every opportunity and advantage for women to compete for a seat at the table.

Beyond industry knowledge and experience, there are essential skills shared in this Workshop that can help you feel confident introducing yourself at networking events and industry meetings, competing for a promotion or negotiating in the boardroom.

With practice, these skills can represent a meaningful difference in how and when you reach your final destination in your well-planned career. Confidence Project skills are the great equalizer. Age, race, gender, background or financial net worth does not matter. Learn how to use these skills to your advantage in “getting from here to there.”

The 10 Seconds of You© Workshop offers simple, lively and helpful interaction with participantsto practice Introductions with Impact. Each person will craft her specialized 10 Seconds of You© (introducing herself with a hook for people to ask more) and then practice her 10 Seconds and short conversation with others.

Application of Skills Learned

Workshop participants will be able to use their 10 Seconds of You© immediately in both business and social settings. With practice, they will be able to engage more quickly and authentically with others which can boost their confidence.

Skills will include: Creating a strong first impression, introducing yourself with impact, owning your name, creating and practicing your personal 10 Seconds of You©
