Description
Networking/Group Discussion
Zoom Link will be sent 24 hours before event to all those who register.
Our 2021 focus of New Beginnings continues with our final Emerging and Nurturing topic Lean Startup Principles for Your Life with special guest Diane Bouis.
In our discussion, Diane will guide us through Lean Startup Principles for Your Life and challenge us with the following questions.
- What does "jobs to be done" mean for my career?
- What is customer discovery and how do I do it?
- How do I apply a stage-gate approach to my career?
She will also share practical tips on webstalking (or as she prefers "sherlock holmes-ing") folks and help us to answer, "How do I apply the TechStars credo #GiveFirst to my networking?”
We are thrilled to welcome Diane!
