Why You Should Convince Your Boss
Attending Women in Tech Texas can serve as a crucial stepping stone in your professional development, providing a vital tool to help you grow in your career. To make the most of your experience, it’s highly beneficial to gain the support of your organisation by informing your manager about how attending the event can benefit both your individual growth and align with company objectives.
We understand the challenges posed by the current climate when persuading your boss the value and investment in attending, such as budget restraints and the difficulty in getting time off work, especially if you work in a smaller team.
To assist you in getting started, we have created a helpful template and provided some useful tips for writing to your boss.
