As leaders we are expected to help grow the people in our teams.

A powerful way of growing your people is through facilitating mentorship relationships.

Mentorship is a funny word that means different things for different people. In this session I'm going to introduce the concept of what mentorship is to me, share my journey around discovering software mentorship and share a few lessons learned in setting up mentoring relationships in development teams at MYOB.

You'll come out a little better informed around how to set up a successful technical mentoring relationship

This conference is about learning and sharing from our colleagues. Over the years we have come to value the following things;

  • Interactive sessions over presentations
  • Specific tools and techniques over general frameworks
  • Learning from mistakes and failures over sharing sanitised success stories
  • Diversity of content over following industry best practices
  • Evidence based approaches over novel ideas

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
