 Manchester Girl Geeks proudly present their 10^th Girl Geek Dinner at

Bollywood Masala, 15 - 25 Liverpool Street, Manchester M3 4NW.

For this dinner we have Lorna Mitchell giving her talk "Teach a Man to Fish". Food will be served in a banquet style with different options of starters and mains for all.

- About the Talk: Teach a Man to Fish -

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." so goes the famous Chinese proverb, and the same principle applies elsewhere in life. In development teams, we often recruit to fill skills gaps or to increase our output, which is time-consuming and expensive - and isn't always necessary.
In this session we'll look at strategies for enabling our existing teams to perform better, by seeking and sharing knowledge, skills and processes.
This is the talk for anyone with an ambition to improve their technical or softer skills, for themselves and their futures.
